AP Capstone Program

Advanced Placement Courses

Each BCPS high school offers Advanced Placement (AP) courses. AP courses give students the opportunity to take college-level coursework, and potentially earn college credit, while still in high school. For a list of AP courses offered at your high school, please contact your school counselor.

The AP Capstone Program

AP Capstone™ is a diploma program from the College Board. It’s based on two yearlong AP courses: AP Seminar and AP Research.

Rather than teaching subject-specific content, these courses develop students’ skills in research, analysis, evidence-based arguments, collaboration, writing, and presenting. Students who complete the two-year program can earn one of two different AP Capstone awards, which are valued by colleges across the United States and around the world.
