AP classes are advanced classes offered at Liberty.
AP courses are designed to help students acquire the skills and habits necessary to be successful in college. Students improve their writing skills, sharpen their problem-solving abilities, and develop time management skills, discipline, and study habits.
At the end of the year, students have the option to take the AP exam for their course.
Most four-year colleges in the United States and colleges in more than 60 other countries give students credit, advanced placement or both on the basis of AP Exam scores. By entering college with AP credits, students will have the time to move into upper level courses, pursue a double-major or study abroad.
