* AP Human Geography: Focuses on human interactions with the environment and the organization of space.
* AP Psychology: Covers the scientific study of behavior and mental processes.
* AP World History: Explores the history of the world from roughly 8000 BCE to the present. (Note: Some schools offer this in other grades as well.)
* AP Environmental Science: Studies the interactions between human society and the environment.
* AP Statistics: Introduces statistical methods and reasoning.
* AP Computer Science A: Teaches Java programming.

It's important to note that the availability of these, and other AP courses, depends entirely on the individual high school's curriculum and resources. Some schools might offer more AP options to sophomores than others. A student's academic record and prior performance also factor into whether they are allowed to enroll in these challenging courses.
