There is at least one on-line course and many readings that appear to relate directly to the CLEP Exam. I have drawn from several of these as well as some guest lectures. Faculty home pages can be found at the end of this page. The topics in bold face are those The College Board indicates will be found on the exams.
Percentages given after the main topic headings are only approximate.
Always contact The College Board for latest information. Here is one way that you can begin. This is one course where a good encyclopedia can be your best friend. To help orient yourself to the subject start by reading quickly through the topics in the study guide below. Then read the history section of Europe in the encyclopedia though events from 1648.
