Advanced Placement United States History is designed to provide students with the analytic skills and factual knowledge necessary to deal critically with the problems and materials in American history. This course, designed as a college-level course, prepares students for intermediate and advanced college courses by making demands upon them equivalent to those made by full-year introductory college courses. In this course students will learn to assess historical materials, their relevance to a given interpretive problem, their reliability, and their importance—and to weigh the evidence and interpretations presented in historical scholarship. Preparation for the College Board AP Exam is emphasized. This course may be substituted for U.S. History Since Reconstruction. This course cannot be entered at mid-term. Preparation for End of Course testing will be included and students are expected to take the AP exam.
