The College Board's Advanced Placement (AP) Program offers students the opportunity to complete college-level studies and exams while attending high school. The Program provides examinations on 33 introductory courses in 19 fields. The primary goals of the AP Program are to strengthen the secondary school experience of students who are ready for college-level work and to provide administrative support for granting credit or placement to those students in their freshman year of college. Sinclair faculty have reviewed the AP exams and determined which Sinclair courses will be awarded for academic credit.
