Virginia & United States Government, AP

This course is part of the Advanced Placement Program of the College Entrance Examination Board, which makes demands on students’ equivalent to those of an introductory year in political science at the college freshman level. The course is designed for the serious student who is willing to meet the demands of an in-depth analysis of both American Government and Politics and Comparative Government and Politics. In addition, course emphasis will be given to political theory and local and state government. Much emphasis is placed on writing and the student is expected to read extensively.
