Advanced Placement Biology is designed to be the equivalent of a college introductory biology course usually taken by biology majors during their first year.  Some AP students, as college freshmen, are permitted to undertake upper-level courses in biology or to register for courses for which biology is a prerequisite.  Other students may have fulfilled a basic requirement for a laboratory science course and will be able to undertake other courses to pursue their majors.

AP Biology will include the topics regularly covered in a college biology course for majors or in the syllabus from a high quality college program in introductory biology.
