The AP Program is a globally recognized credential that gives students a powerful advantage in university admissions and beyond. AP courses and exam scores are accepted by universities across the U.S., Canada, the UK, Europe, and over 60 countries worldwide, often earning students university credit before they even begin. In fact, nearly half of students entering four-year universities now start with AP credit. AP prepares students to stand out, accelerate their degrees, and compete on a global academic stage.
