Advanced Placement French Literature (or AP French Literature) was an Advanced Placement course and examination offered by the College Board. The course was designed to replicate a college French literature course for high school students. Students studied a variety of novels, plays, and poetry, all written in French.
Due to low numbers of students taking AP French Literature, it was discontinued after the 2008-2009 year.[1]
