AP World History: Modern is an introductory college-level modern world history course. Students cultivate their understanding of world history from c. 1200 CE to the present through analyzing historical sources and learning to make connections and craft historical arguments as they explore concepts like humans and the environment, cultural developments and interactions, governance, economic systems, social interactions and organization, and technology and innovation. All students must take the College Board’s Advanced Placement Exam and based on their score, may earn college credit and/or advanced standing in college. Students who have not earned a verified credit in social studies must take the SOL test for World History and Geography from 1500 AD to the Present and pass it to earn a verified credit towards graduation. The course may be taken in place of World History or as an elective credit.
