Historical Periods:
The historical periods, from pre-Columbian contacts in North America (represented symbolically by the date 1491) to the present, provide a temporal framework for the course. The instructional importance and assessment weighting for each period varies:
Thematic Learning Objectives:
The thematic learning objectives describe, at a high level, the knowledge colleges expect students to develop in the AP U.S. History course in order to be qualified for credit and placement. In order to help students develop this knowledge, teachers will need to anchor their locally developed AP syllabi in historical content and skills. The learning objectives are grouped into seven themes typically included in college-level U.S. history courses:
- American and National Identity (NAT)
- Politics and Power (POL)
- Work, Exchange, and Technology (WXT)
- Culture and Society (CUL)
- Migration and Settlement (MIG)
- Geography and the Environment (GEO)
- America in the World (WOR)
These themes focus on major historical issues and changes, helping students connect the historical content they study to broad developments and processes that have emerged over centuries in what has become the United States.
