In AP World History, students will go beyond a general understanding of world history. Students will use analytic skills and write extensively on the major themes of history from the the rise of the world's civilizations to the present day in this intensive, fast-paced course. AP World History goes beyond that of an honors course, and has extensive reading and writing components.
