AP Geography

Prerequisite: Recommendation from 8th Grade Social Studies Teacher

Course Description: Advanced Placement Human Geography is a class that will teach students about cultural, geographic and economic factors that contribute to the world we live in today. The class is a blend of environmental science, government, and geography. Throughout the year we will attempt to answer the question of “why are regions of the world so vastly different?”

This course will culminate with a final exam in May. Students who earn a “3” or higher on this exam (1-5 are the possible scores) will earn college credit at many colleges and universities. This course will also serve as the prerequisite to AP US History Junior or Senior Year.
