<p>IsAP Psych a social science or a science? At my high school, normal psych is in the social studies department, but the AP class is in the science department. I plan on taking this as my science because a lab science would get in the way of classes that I truly want to take (shows passion). Will most schools see AP Psych as a social science or a regular science? I really want to take at least 4 units of each core course in high school.</p>
<p>I think it is more of a science that social science.</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure it's a social science and not a science. I don't think it will count as a science course.</p>
<p>I think it's a social science. AP Psychology is really not that difficult.</p>
<p>Wikipedia classifies psychology as a behavioral science, not a social science. :D</p>
<p>In IB-land it's a social science. At my school, though, we tend to think of it as more of a science, because in Junior year, most people take either Physics or Psychology, and no other science, along with US History, which is obviously history, so if you just take Psych (though many people do take both Phys+Psych, or Psych+APES) it's seen as your science.</p>
<p>My school is it's social sciences</p>
<p>I took it last year and definitely didn't get any science credits for it.</p>
<p>definitely a social sci at my school.</p>
<p>Definitely a social science here. And colleges consider it a social science, unless you're specifically talking about neuropsych.</p>
