AP World History: Modern

This course is designed to prepare students with the skills and content knowledge needed for the AP World History exam. While its primary content coverage will heavily emphasize the modern era from 1400 C.E. forward on a global scale, it will also review pre-modern material from World History I as needed to foster readiness for the exam. Major areas of study will include: Networks of Exchange, Land-Based Empires, Transoceanic Interconnections, Revolutions, Consequences of Industrialization, Global Conflict, Cold War and Decolonization, and Globalization. Where applicable and practical, coverage will include consideration of relevant art, music, and literature. Students take the AP exam in May, and the year concludes with a research-based enrichment Activity.
