Teacher Reccomendations: Is Economics a "Social Study"?

<p>I know Columbia wants "core" courses (i.e math, sciences, lit, social studies)</p>

<p>I have had an Econ/Business/FedTeamCoach teacher for all 4 years of my high school career and I would love to have him write my recc for me. But the problem is I'm not sure if Columbia would count this. Is it okay for him to write me a reccomendation as my year-long economics teacher? </p>

<p>Here's the kicker though... the economics course I took though year long, was an elective. But it gets confusing because my school is split up into 7 "concentrations". For the business concentration kids its a Core course. For me, its an elective even though its the EXACT same class. </p>

<p>So in light of all this, what do you guys think, is it okay to submit his reccomendation with the Econ class as the main Social Science along with the other 6 electives he's taught me in over a period of 3 (going on 4) years?</p>

<p>Anyone submit an Econ recc before?</p>
