The AP World History is a full year, college level course in which students investigate significant events, individuals, developments, and processes from 1200 to the present. Students develop and use the same skills, practices, and methods employed by historians: analyzing primary and secondary sources, developing historical arguments; making historical connections; and utilizing reasoning about comparison, causation, and continuity and change over time. In addition, students will explore six themes to make connections among historical developments across time and place: humans and the environment, cultural developments and interactions, governance, economic systems, social interactions and organization, and technology and innovation. This course is reading and writing intensive, including essays and document-based questions at the core of study.
