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](visit www.collegeboard.org).  \nAP® Equity and Access Policy  \nThe 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 underserved. Schools should make every effort to ensure their AP classes reflect 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.  \nThe AP Art History Curriculum Framework is designed to provide educators with a first look at essential information needed to understand the design and intent of the AP Art History course in advance of its implementation in schools in the 2015-16 academic year. Please be advised that the information contained in this publication is subject to change. The final course and exam information will be available in the AP Art History Course and Exam Description, which will be published in early 2015.  \nThe College Board acknowledges all third party content included in these materials and respects the Intellectual Property rights of others.
