What Counts As A Social Sciences/Studies Course?

<p>Apparently (or at least according to MIT) Economics counts as a humanities/social science. Does Finance count as a humanities/social science, as well?</p>

<p>And, apart from History/Languages, what else counts? Does Literature count, or is that an English course?</p>

<p>Thanks ^^.</p>

<p>Finance would be math and literature would be English. Social sciences would be things like sociology, anthropology and political science/government. University of Washington includes psychology and philosophy but I don’t see those included as often. It depends on what context. Are you trying to figure out what classes to take in high school to satisfy social studies requirements?</p>

<p>I’m homeschooled, but yes, I am trying to figure out which subjects to study which would be the equivalent of a high school course. (I’d be in junior year if I were at high school).</p>

<p>The standard public school social studies courses include American History, World History, Government, and Economics.</p>

<p>Does Government specifically refer to American politics?</p>

<p>Something like a comparative Govt class would also count.</p>

<p>Python38, this is the perfect opportunity to establish a relationship with an admissions officer. Contact the admissions rep for your area (by email is probably the preferred way), and ask your question. You will get the straight story PLUS you will let the rep know that you are interested.</p>
