AP Art History is a great course and fulfills the UC VAPA requirement, with bonus point. Yes, it’s a so-called AP Lite, as are a bunch of them, so it’ll be veiwed by adcoms in that manner. However, it should not be taken in lieu of an academic history course (Euro, US, etc.) The test itself has gotten harder over the past few years as the % who earn fives has gone down significantly. OTOH, there is now a study guide for the exam (REA).
