AP Human Geography is a college-level course that examines the patterns and processes that shape human understanding, use, and organization of Earth’s surface. Students will explore topics such as population and migration, culture, language, religion, political organization of space, agriculture, urban development, industrialization, and globalization. The course emphasizes spatial thinking, analysis of geographic data, and the use of models and theories to explain human-environment interactions. Through inquiry-based investigations, data analysis, and evidence-based writing, students will develop critical thinking and analytical skills while preparing for the AP Human Geography exam.
Students are financially responsible for AP exam fees. This course is weighted only if the student completes the AP exam at the end of the semester. If a student opts not to take the AP exam, the course will hold a regular GPA weight.
