Building on these skills, AP Research empowers you to dive deep into a topic of your choice, designing and executing your own original research project. Together, these courses develop the critical thinking, research, and communication skills essential for college success. Beyond earning potential college credit, AP Capstone transforms you into a confident, independent scholar ready to tackle any academic challenge.
