AP Human Geography
Social Studies
Full-year elective.
AP Human Geography is a year-long introduction to topics and analysis of human geography. The course challenges students to evaluate data and physical geography through patterns and spatial organization, human impacts and interactions with the environment, and spatial processes and societal changes. Geopolitics, human migration, cultural processes, land-use, industrialization and economics, as well as fundamentals of geography and maps including statistical analysis and modeling, make up the body of the course. Students will explore concepts through projects, case studies, and written assessments in conjunction with preparation for the final AP exam in May.
