Following the College Board's suggested curriculum designed to parallel college-level Human Geography courses, AP Human Geography introduces students to the systematic study of patterns and processes that have shaped the ways in which humans understand, use, and alter the earth's surface. Students use spatial concepts and landscape analysis to examine human social organization and its environmental consequences and also learn about the methods and tools geographers use in their science and practice. Students entering an AP Human Geography course should be capable of reading and comprehending texts written at the college level. Students should be able to summarize and evaluate textual information. They should also be able to read and interpret maps and geographic data. A strong work ethic and a firm commitment to academic honesty is necessary for success in this class.
