AP Capstone
Advanced Placement (AP) Capstone Diploma. The College Board’s AP Capstone™ is an innovative college-level program based on two courses — AP® Seminar and AP Research — that complement and enhance discipline-specific AP courses. The program immerses high school students in the challenging practice of the critical skills students need for success in college and beyond, including the ability to think independently, write effectively, research, collaborate, and learn across disciplines. Students who earn scores of 3 or higher in AP Seminar and AP Research and on four additional AP Exams of their choosing will receive the AP Capstone Diploma™. This option allows students taking multiple AP courses to distinguish themselves from their peers in the college application process. Students who earn scores of 3 or higher in AP Seminar and AP Research but not on four additional AP Exams will receive the AP Seminar and Research Certificate™.
