AP American History

SOC2933 - Advanced Placement (AP) American History 40 weeks 1 credit ($)

Comparable to an introductory college course, this course is a chronological study of American History from 1600 to the present with an emphasis on differing interpretations of major events and trends. The Advanced Placement program affords high school students the opportunity to gain college credit and advanced standing in selected colleges. In May, students enrolled in the AP program take the Advanced Placement exam. After taking the mandatory AP examination in May, the student will begin to review for the Regents exam in U.S. History and Government, which is required for graduation. For this reason, it is recommended that juniors enroll in the course. Whether or not you get college credit and/or advanced placement is determined by the score you receive on the AP test and the decision of the college of your choice.
