About the College Board The College Board is a mission-driven not-for-proft organization that connects students to college success and opportunity. Founded in 1900, the College Board was created to expand access to higher education. Today, the membership association is made up of over 6,000 of the world’s leading educational institutions and is dedicated to promoting excellence and equity in education. Each year, the College Board helps more than seven million students prepare for a successful transition to college through programs and services in college readiness and college success—including the SAT® and the Advanced Placement Program®. The organization also serves the education community through research and advocacy on behalf of students, educators, and schools. For further information, visit www.collegeboard.org. ® AP Equity and Access Policy The College Board strongly encourages educators to make equitable access a guiding principle for their AP programs by giving all willing and academically prepared students the opportunity to participate in AP. We encourage the elimination of barriers that restrict access to AP for students from ethnic, racial, and socioeconomic groups that have been traditionally underrepresented. Schools should make every efort to ensure their AP classes refect the diversity of their student population. The College Board also believes that all students should have access to academically challenging course work before they enroll in AP classes, which can prepare them for AP success. It is only through a commitment to equitable preparation and access that true equity and excellence can be achieved. © 2017 The College Board.

The changes include: w The document-based question will be limited to topics in t he course, beginning in 1600. w The long essay question choices will continue to focus on the same theme and skill, now allowing for students to select among three options, each focusing on a diferent time period in the course. w The number of required short-answer questions has been reduced to three. Students will be given a choice among two options for the fnal required short- answer question, each one focusing on a diferent time period. w Ten minutes have been added to Section II (the document-based question and the long essay question). w The rubrics for both the document-based question and the long essay question have been streamlined. Both are available on AP Central. n The learning objectives have been consolidated and the concept outline material has been revised, with a new theme (National and European Identity) made explicit, although the scope of the course has not changed. n Language in the concept outline has been modifed in places to improve clarity and to align with current scholarship. n Some key concepts have been renumbered to create a more logical narrative. n Specifc modifcations to key concepts include: w Key Concept 1.1.I.A References Petrarch w Key Concept 1.2 Renumbered to become Key Concept 1.5 w Key Concept 1.3 Renumbered to become Key Concept 1.2 w Key Concept 1.4 Renumbered to become Key Concept 1.3 w Key Concept 1.5 Renumbered to become Key Concept 1.4 w Key Concept 1.2.I.C ( Formerly 1.3.I) Added sub key concept “C” about Protestant work ethic w Key Concept 1.2.I.D (Formerly 1.3.I.C) Renumbered AP European History Course and Exam Description Return to Table of Contents v © 7102 The College Board Chagn e s ni ht si dE oiti n o f ht e Coru es adn aEx m eD rcs oitpi n w Key Concept 1.5.III.C ( Formerly under 1.2.III) Added sub key concept “C” about local and regional identities in relation to state power. w Key Concept 2.3 R eorganized for clarity—sub key concept “C” added; religious revival w Key Concept 4.1.V Renumbered to become 4.4.IV w Key Concept 4.1.VI Renumbered to become 4.1.V w Key Concept 4.1.VII Renumbered to become 4.1.VI PA ruE oep a n otsiH r y Coru es adn aEx m eD rcs oitpi n Return to Table of Contents vi © 2017 The College Board Acknowledgments  Acknowledgments The College Board would like to acknowledge the following committee members, consultants, and reviewers for their assistance with and commitment to the development of this curriculum and assessment.

Through more than 30 courses, each culminating in a rigorous exam, AP provides willing and academically prepared students with the opportunity to earn college credit and/or advanced placement. Taking AP courses also demonstrates to college admission ofcers that students have sought out the most rigorous course work available to them. Each AP course is modeled upon a comparable college course, and college and university faculty play a vital role in ensuring that AP courses align with college-level standards. Talented and dedicated AP teachers help AP students in classrooms around the world develop and apply the content knowledge and skills they will need later in college. Each AP course concludes with a college-level assessment developed and scored by college and university faculty, as well as experienced AP teachers. AP Exams are an essential part of the AP experience, enabling students to demonstrate their mastery of college-level course work. Most four-year colleges and universities in the United States and universities in more than 60 countries recognize AP in the admission process and grant students credit, placement, or both on the basis of successful AP Exam scores. Visit www.collegeboard.org/apcreditpolicy to view AP credit and placement policies at more than 1,000 colleges and universities. 1 Performing well on an AP Exam means more than just the successful completion of a course; it is a gateway to success in college. Research consistently shows that students who receive a score of 3 or higher on AP Exams typically experience greater academic success in college and have higher graduation rates than their non-AP peers.1 Additional AP studies are available at www.collegeboard.org/research. 1See the following research studies for more details: Linda Hargrove, Donn Godin, and Barbara Dodd, College Outcomes Comparisons by AP and Non-AP High School Experiences (New York: The College Board, 2008).
