DETROIT — Wayne State’s College of Liberal Arts and Sciences will host Advanced Placement (AP) Curriculum Enrichment Day on Tuesday, April 24, 2012, from 10 a.m. to noon. More than 1,200 area high school students who have been taking AP courses all year will have the opportunity to attend lectures by Wayne State professors on AP subjects, the day before the AP tests. Last year, more than 800 high school students attended.

This event is designed to reward students who have been studying hard all year in their AP classes, giving them a glimpse into college classes with sample lectures. Attendees also are offered a tour of campus to experience life at Wayne State, including lunch at the Towers Café, WSU’s newest dining hall.

Wayne State faculty members in AP subject areas volunteer their time to provide high school students with informative lectures on biology, calculus, computer science, German, human geography, Italian, psychology, Spanish, statistics, U.S. history and world history. New in the program’s ninth year, an English literature and composition component has been added.
