AP Capstone™ is a College Board

program that equips students with the independent research, collaborative teamwork, and communication skills that are increasingly valued by colleges. It cultivates curious, independent, and collaborative scholars and prepares them to make logical, evidence-based decisions. AP Capstone is comprised of two AP courses — AP Seminar and AP Research — and is designed to complement and enhance the discipline-specific study in other AP courses. Participating schools can use the AP Capstone program to provide unique research opportunities for current AP students, or to expand access to AP by encouraging students to master the argument-based writing skills that the AP Capstone program develops. The AP Seminar provides students with the opportunity to develop critical thinking skills and prepare for university. It is based on three main components: a team project and presentation, a research-based essay and presentation, and a written exam. Students must receive a score of 3 or higher in the course to continue.

In addition to completing the AP Seminar and AP Research courses, students will be required to also take at least four other AP courses of their choice. Upon receiving at least a score of three on all four exams and getting at least a score of three on the AP Seminar and AP Research courses, they will receive an AP Capstone Diploma upon graduation. If students do not score three or higher on all exams, they will not receive the AP Capstone Certificate.
