College Board lists History and Social Studies as two different types of classes on their requirements pages. Do colleges consider a History class as a Social Studies class? Say I’ve taken 3 History classes (World, US I, US II) and 1 “Social Studies” class (say Economics or Psychology), would I meet the requirements for a college that requires no History classes and two “Social Studies” classes?
