Description:  The purpose of this course is to prepare students to take the Advanced Placement examination in American History for which college credit and/or placement may be given if a qualifying score is made. Students develop the factual knowledge and analytical skills necessary to deal with the issues and problems of American History. They do in-depth analysis of major developments; become familiar with primary sources; assess historical materials, evidence, and interpretations; and learn to write research papers. The course is equal to a full-year introductory college course. Completion of this course fulfills the graduation requirement for one credit in Virginia and United States History.

This course has an end-of-course Standards of Learning test. All students are required to take the AP U.S. History exam.
