Advanced Placement (AP) Physics offers a suite of college-level courses, providing a gateway to understanding the fundamental laws of the universe. Successfully completing an AP Physics course can earn you college credit and a head start in your science and engineering studies.

AP Physics 1: Algebra-Based

AP Physics 1: Algebra-Based

An introductory, algebra-based course covering foundational concepts like kinematics, dynamics, energy, momentum, and basic circuits. It's equivalent to a first-semester college course in algebra-based physics.

AP Physics 2: Algebra-Based

AP Physics 2: Algebra-Based

A continuation of Physics 1, this course delves into topics such as fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, electricity and magnetism, optics, and modern physics. It's equivalent to a second-semester college course in algebra-based physics.

AP Physics C: Mechanics

AP Physics C: Mechanics

A calculus-based course focusing in-depth on classical mechanics. It is equivalent to a first-semester university physics course for science and engineering majors.

AP Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism

AP Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism

Another calculus-based course, this one covers electrostatics, conductors, capacitors, circuits, magnetism, and electromagnetic induction. It is equivalent to a second-semester university physics course for science and engineering majors.
