2 . AP at a Glance
Get an Overview of the AP ProgramThe Advanced Placement ® Program (AP) enables willing and academically-prepared students to pursue college-level studies while they are still in high school. The program develops college-level courses that high schools can choose to offer and corresponding AP exams that are administered once a year.
Fast Facts·AP courses are available in seven subject categories.
·Each AP course is modeled on a comparable introductory college course in the subject.
·Each course comes to an end in a standardized college-level assessment or an AP exam.
·AP exams are given in May each year at testing locations all over the world.
·Schools must be authorized by the AP Course Audit to offer approved AP courses and use the “AP” designation (名称).
AdvantagesTaking AP courses and exams can help students:
·Stand out on college applications. AP courses on a student’s transcript (学生成绩报告单) show that they’ve challenged themselves with the strictest courses available to them. And success on an AP exam shows that they’re ready for college-level coursework.
·Earn college credits and skip introductory courses in college. Most four-year colleges and universities in the United States, as well as many institutions in more than 100 other countries, grant students’ credit, placement, or both for qualifying AP exam scores.

4 . The Master of Arts Program in the Humanities(MAPH)at the University of Chicago is designed to allow you the freedom to either focus on one academic discipline or explore interdisciplinary(跨学科的)interests that may not fit well within a traditional MA program. This advantage, combined with our strong support, can help you take the next step in your professional and academic life in a short amount of time — more than 90% of our students graduate in 9 months.
The Value of This MA ProgramMaster’s degrees, obtained after finishing MA programs, have become increasingly common for admission to PhD programs and it is not unusual for an MA degree to serve as a requirement for entry into many professional fields. MAPH also allows students to complete intensive academic work and prepares them to continue into further graduate study or a career that much faster.
Academic SupportMAPH students are provided with academic guidance from the moment they arrive on campus. Most often this support comes from the following sources:
·All MAPH students take a required fall quarter course taught by the MAPH Director.
·Students are placed in groups of 10-12 and work closely with an assigned post-doctoral Instructional Professor or Teaching Fellow throughout the year.
·Over the winter and spring quarters, MAPH students work closely with a faculty member who has agreed to serve as their thesis advisor.
·Three MAPH Mentors, recent MAPH graduates who work as staff members, are available to meet with students to discuss course selection.
