The Advanced Placement English Literature course offers high school students an opportunity to study in depth on a college level. Advanced Placement courses prepare students for college and stand out on admissions applications. Students earn college credit for scoring well on the AP test offered. They can then begin their college education in upper-level literature classes. There are resources available to learn more about the course and test, and to help you through the year.
