AP World History AP World History

The AP World History course emphasizes the period from 1000 to the present with careful attention to the cultural, institutional, technological, and geographic influences among major societies. The global focus includes international interaction among Asia, Europe, Southwest Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, and the Americas, comparing and highlighting the nature of change and continuity among societies across time. Students will analyze primary sources, conduct independent research, read independently, and develop higher order thinking skills associated with the work of modern historians including the presentation of evidence in a variety of essay formats. Students will prepare for the AP World History exam, which could result in college credit. The AP US History exam (fee charged) is administered to students for college credit.
