AP Seminar is an advanced placement, yearlong course that challenges students to investigate real-world issues from multiple perspectives using an inquiry-based framework. Students develop skills in analyzing diverse texts, synthesizing information, and creating evidence-based arguments through research-based essays, as well as oral and visual presentations both individually and in teams, throughout the year for assessment. The course culminates in the Advanced Placement examination given in May of each year. By earning 3 or higher on the AP Exam in Seminar, Research and four other AP courses, students qualify to earn the AP Capstone Diploma. This course serves as a prerequisite for AP Research.
