This course is offered to highly motivated students who wish to pursue their interests in the biological sciences. Enrollment requirements for the AP Biology course depend on policies established by each high school offering the course, but AP Biology is usually preceded by a less rigorous entry level Biology course, and sometimes by Chemistry as well. While some schools may have selective acceptance into the course, determined by academic record in prerequisite courses, other schools adhere to a policy of open enrollment, encouraging its undertaking by students that demonstrate capability for the course, though they may have performed unsatisfactorily in previous science courses.

Topics covered by this course include, Anatomy & Physiology, Biochemistry, Biodiversity, Botany, The Cell,  Developmental Biology, Ecology, Genetics, Molecular Biology, Origin of life, Population Biology, and Evolution.
