AP is a rigorous academic program built on the commitment, passion, and hard work of students and educators from both secondary schools and higher education. Taking AP classes benefits students in a number of ways:

Favorably Impacts College Admission

• Students who take AP courses send a signal to colleges that they’re serious about their education and that they’re willing to challenge themselves with rigorous course work.
• 85% of selective colleges and universities report that a student’s AP experience favorably impacts admission decisions

Offers Financial Benefits

• Students who take five years or more to graduate can spend $21,500 for each additional year in college, to cover tuition, fees, living expenses, transportation and other costs.
• Research shows that students who take AP courses and exams are much more likely than their peers to complete a college degree on time.

Builds Skills and Confidence

• Students learn essential time management and study skills needed for college and career success.
• Students dig deeper into subjects that interest them, and learn to tap their creativity and their problem-solving skills to address course challenges.
