OPINIONS AND COMPARISONS

Senior Gus Peters took AP Lang last year, and is now enrolled in English 101 and 102. Given his score on his AP exam, he will not receive any additional credits for the Jayhawk Blueprint course. However, he does say that there are many benefits to taking a Blueprint class.

“Compared to AP classes, KU Blueprint classes definitely give you a better understanding of what professors might be looking for or what college grading might look like,” Peters said. “It’s definitely a finite way to get those credits. Plus, AP classes don’t automatically earn you credits, but KU blueprint classes do.”

Peters believes from personal experience that Jayhawk Blueprint courses tend to be less challenging than AP courses, but ultimately, both options achieve remotely similar credits.

Both AP courses and Jayhawk Blueprint courses are allow for students to get ahead and expand their skills as a student. Students are highly encouraged to take advantage of these wonderful opportunities.
