AP World History-Course Revision 2019-20
•The AP World History: Modern course will begin in 1200 CE, starting in the 2019-20 school year. This change will ensure teachers and students can begin the course with a study of the civilizations in Africa, the Americas, and Asia that are foundational to the modern era.
•By mid-January 2019 we’ll provide an optional scope-and-sequence document that spreads the content of the AP World History: Modern course (1200 CE to present) across 140 instructional periods, with time included for students to focus on developing the AP history disciplinary practices and reasoning skills.
•In addition, for schools and students interested in AP coursework that covers 10,000 years of world history, we are committed to offering a second AP world history course—AP World History: Ancient.
•Teachers won’t be required to submit their 2019-20 syllabus for review and approval. Instead, they’ll simply confirm their awareness of these changes on their 2019-20 AP Course Audit form.
