AP Biology

Designed to be the equivalent of college introductory biology course. This course differs significantly from the usual first high school biology course with respect to the range and depth of topics covered, laboratory work done by students, and the time and effort required of students. It provides students with the conceptual framework, factual knowledge, and analytical skills necessary to deal critically with the rapidly changing science of biology. Some students, as college freshmen, are permitted to undertake upper-level courses in biology or register for courses for which biology is a prerequisite after achieving an adequate score on the optional Advanced Placement Examination.
