I was looking at some colleges and some of them want 3 years of History and 2 years of social studies. Well what would be a social studies class and what would be a History Class? Would AP Gov (I'm planning on taking it senior year) count as History or Social Studies? Thanks!
 
Social studies is just a broader range, it usually includes history, government, geography, etc. So government would count as social studies, not history.
