What's the difference between College Now and Advanced Placement (AP)?

Although both College Now and AP courses provide students with rigorous and challenging course work, there are some very important differences. For example AP are high school courses which award high school credit. Note, students who take the AP exam can potentially earn college credit dependent on the exam score received. On the other hand, College Now courses are undergraduate level classes which award college credit upon successful completion of the course.
