AP Human Geography presents students with thematic knowledge on economic, cultural, political and urban geography. Case studies are drawn from all world regions, with an emphasis on understanding the world in which we live today. The themes studied will allow further insight into the impacts of globalization, colonialism and human-environment relationships on places, regions, cultural landscapes and patterns of interaction. Students will have the opportunity to become more geoliterate and engaged in global issues by developing skills in using maps as well as applying geographic concepts.
