Ever wondered which Advanced Placement (AP) course just doesn’t get the love it deserves? While many students flock to the classics like AP Calculus and AP Biology, there are a few hidden gems that students seem to overlook. One such course has found itself at the end of the popularity spectrum, leading us to ponder: which AP course is often left in the shadows?
The Short Answer: AP Italian Language
The course with the lowest number of registrations by November 2023 was AP Italian Language with only 2,358 registrations. Ouch! That’s only a fraction compared to the legions of students enrolling in other AP offerings.
Let’s unpack this a bit. Despite its rich culture and beautiful language, AP Italian seems to be the underdog of the AP world. Why might that be? Perhaps it’s because language courses can be intimidating, or maybe the allure of other subjects—like the sciences or humanities—outshines Italian for most students. Additionally, not every high school offers it, and student interest in Italian culture might not equate to enrolling in a challenging AP course. This could reflect broader trends in language enrollments, with Spanish and French taking center stage as the go-to choices.
Still, those who do take AP Italian Language are diving into a world filled with artistic expression, culinary delights, and some seriously catchy operas. Even with its lower enrollment, it’s a valuable experience for those who are passionate about the language and culture.
