WHAT IS AP PSYCHOLOGY?
AP Psychology is a college-level course that introduces students to the scientific study of behavior and mental processes. The curriculum covers biological, cognitive, developmental, social, and clinical perspectives while emphasizing research methods, data interpretation, and psychological terminology. Students develop analytical thinking skills and learn to apply psychological concepts to real-world situations.
AP Psychology builds critical thinking, research literacy, and analytical writing skills valuable across college majors. A strong score strengthens college applications, supports majors in psychology, medicine, education, business, and social sciences, and may earn university credit. The course also helps students better understand human behavior, learning, and decision-making.
