AP courses give high school students the opportunity to earn college credit while in high school. It is my expectation (but not a requirement) that you will take the AP exam if you register for an AP course.

Advanced Placement European History is a rigorous course designed for committed, motivated students who have already established a record of academic achievements, especially in Social Science.

In an effort to keep you informed and help you prepare for the year ahead, please be aware of the following information about AP European History:
