AP World History

 

 

Text Box: Course Overview
	AP World History is a two semester college level course designed to prepare students for the rigors of collegiate instruction and the Advanced Placement exam administered by the College Board in May each year (May 14, 2009).  The AP World History class meets all year long and alternates weeks with the AP English class.  Both are offered at the senior level.
	As described in the AP Course Description of the College Board, the purpose of the class is to give students a better understanding of the evolution of global processes and contacts, in interaction with different types of human societies.  This is accomplished throughout this course, through a combination of selective factual information, comparisons, causes and effects, change and continuities over time within and among major societies.  Periodization and specific themes provide further organization of this course.
