AP World History 12

In AP World History: Modern, students investigate significant events, individuals, developments, and processes from 1200 to the present. Students develop and use the same skills, practices, and methods historians employ: analyzing primary and secondary sources; developing historical arguments; making historical connections; and reasoning about comparison, causation, and continuity and change over time. The course explores six themes to connect historical developments across different times and places: humans and the environment; cultural developments and interactions; governance; economic systems; social interactions and organization; and technology and innovation. Students will write the AP World History Modern exam in May.

Course Prerequisite: It is recommended, though not required, that students complete a regular senior social studies course before taking this course.
