What is AP European History?
AP European History is a year-long course covering European history from 1450 to the present, which is designed to provide high school students with the opportunity to engage in college-level work. Students who successfully pass the AP European History exam at the end of the course year can earn college credit depending upon their score and the policies of the college they chose to attend. All students who do passing work will earn one high school social studies credit, though failure to pass the AP exam will result in the course being listed as an “honors” history course on their transcripts, rather than as an “AP” history course.
