    COURSE DESCRIPTION:

    AP Human Geography presents high school students with the curricular equivalent of an introductory college-level course in human geography or cultural geography.

     

    COURSE OBJECTIVE:

    Content is presented thematically rather than regionally and is organized around the discipline’s main subfields: economic geography, cultural geography, political geography, and urban geography.  The approach is spatial and problem-oriented. Case studies are drawn from all world regions, with an emphasis on understanding the world in which we live today. Historical information serves to enrich the analysis of the impacts of phenomena such as globalization, colonialism, and human-environment relationships on paces, regions, cultural landscapes, and patterns of interaction.
