AP U.S. History
Course Description
In this AP US History class, students will study a comprehensive survey of United States history from pre-colonial through the twentieth century. The course is designed to provide students with the analytical skills and factual knowledge to deal critically with issues in United States history. This course prepares students for intermediate level college courses by making demands upon them equivalent to those of full-year introductory college courses, and therefore requires good study habits, intensive reading, and above-average writing skills. This course prepares students for the national Advanced Placement United States History exam offered in May. Students who successfully complete the AP United States History exam can qualify for college credit, advanced placement in their college freshman year, or both.
