AP European History

Department: Social Sciences
Open to: Seniors
Length: 2 Semesters

Advanced Placement European History is a college level course offered to students in their senior year. The goal of the course is for students to understand and explain the key events in European history from 1450 to the present. Apart from knowing the basic chronology of events, students should form a strong relationship with the underlying themes of Modern European History as well as an ability to analyze historical documents (both primary and secondary) and communicate a sophisticated knowledge of this history in both written and oral expression. College Credit may be available to students who score 3 or better on the AP exam in May.
