AP Biology
Course Description
The Advanced Placement (AP) Biology course is intended to be equivalent to an introductory biology course taken by college freshmen at the university level. This college course in biology offers students the opportunity to participate in an internationally recognized program whose high standards are widely known and highly regarded by 200 universities in the United States alone.
The AP Biology course is very different from your high school biology class taken during your freshman or sophomore year. The supplemental materials, textbook, pace of instruction, range and depth of topics covered, and laboratory activities presented in AP Biology are equal to the academic level and standards of a typical university-based laboratory science course. AP Biology students need to recognize that substantially greater effort and time is required on their part to successfully complete course demands and challenges. Students are expected to spend at least 1-2 unsupervised hours (a.k.a. students’ personal time) per day to read, study, & review materials covered in lecture and/or labs. In May, students who take and demonstrate mastery of the content on the Advanced Placement Exam in biology, may earn university credit towards enrolling into an advanced level biological sciences course.
