AP Comp Sci or AP Psyc?

Question

If a student wants to major in business, would it be more beneficial for that student to take AP Comp Sci or AP Psyc in high school?

Answer 1

I would recommend, personally, AP psychology. It will benefit you throughout your business degree as you take required Human Resources courses--it will also fulfill a necessary social sciences credit that will likely be a part of your general education fulfillment (usually done in the first two years in college). Also, an AP psychology course is likely to introduce you to reading academic research articles, and the way psychological academic journals operate is similar to how business academic journals do. In college, you will certainly be reading business journal articles.
