A Core 40 and AHD course (Advanced Biology) Have a GPA of 2.7 or higher on a 4.00-point scale (as evidenced by a college preparatory curriculum and advanced coursework) CInfo5: ACP Biology is a course offered in conjunction with Indiana University. It is a college course designed to examine the fundamental principles of Biology. ACP Biology expands the information presented in Biology I, and reinforces and builds on the principles of biological organization from molecules through cells and organisms. The emphasis is on processes common to all organisms, with special reference to humans. This course may be taken for college credit as well as high school credit (see Guidance Department for details). If taken for college credit, it counts as a 5-credit hour lab course for non-science majors, or as a 5-credit hour elective to prepare science majors for more advanced courses. The official I.U. course title is L100 – Humans and the Biological World. This course is different from AP Biology. AP Biology is a course based on the curriculum created by the Advanced Placement division of the College Board. This curriculum is a very strict and complete overview of biological concepts. It is much more wide-ranged and in-depth than even an actual college course. This course will, however, help to prepare you to take the AP Exam. Students who take the AP Exam in May, and who pass with a 4 or 5 on a 5 point scale, can be eligible to skip the first year required course of Biology in many colleges. The required score (or even if the program is accepted) varies from university to university. Each student should check with the specific colleges they wish to apply for. If your chosen college accepts IU transfer credit, it is much more beneficial for you to take the course for ACP credit (which is offered at a significant discount). Students taking the course for ACP credit, and students who are applying to colleges that do not recognize the AP program, should not take the AP Exam in May. All other students are encouraged to take the AP Exam, but it is not required. |
