<p>Hello,
I have looked everywhere for an answer and can't seem to find one. On some websites they say that to go to some colleges you have to have 3 history credits and 3 social studies creadits. I have always thought they were basically the same thing. Could someone please explain the difference.
Thanks!</p>
<p>Social studies is more than history. It includes civics/government, anthropology, geography, economics, sociology, and psychology. Philosophy, law and criminal justice can be included as well.</p>
<p>^ precisely. although i think Sociology and Psychology also fall under Social Sciences</p>
<p>Social Studies = Social Sciences</p>
<p>It’s the same thing.</p>
<p>Yeah you’re right, i guess you learn something new everyday huh</p>
<p>So when a college asks for 3 history and 3 social studies is that two different things…right? or is it the same thing credit wise?</p>
<p>Oh and thanks for explaining the difference. :)</p>
<p>i’d assume so , my guess is they are asking for like World USH and APAH or Euro</p>
<p>okay. So, as of right now i have one history credit(World Hsitory) and one soical studies credit(Civic/Economics)?</p>
<p>Sorry for all the questions…I just want to make sure i understand</p>
<p>Thank You so much for answering my questions :)</p>
<p>History is History (US History, World History, etc)</p>
<p>As stated Social Studies cover so much more. Your Civics and Economics for example are social studies</p>
<p>It would be incredibly unusual for a college to ask for BOTH 3 credits in history AND 3 credits in social sciences. That would be over a fourth of a typical high schoolers credits.</p>
<p>I love History it’s extremely lucid for me. Best subject everrrr lol. On the other hand if I had to choose within History I would choose US History because it’s amazing to study.</p>
