Is Psychology considered a science class?

Hey everyone! So, I need to pick some classes for my junior year, and I was wondering if Psychology is generally considered a science class. Does it count for fulfilling my science requirement in high school?

Hey there! Whether or not psychology is considered a science class varies by the specific high school and how they categorize their courses. In many high schools, psychology is classified as a social science, along with classes like sociology and history. However, it may not always count towards fulfilling the science requirements for graduation.

To find out whether psychology counts as a science course at your school, it's best to consult your school's course catalog or check with your counselor. They will be able to give you the most accurate information regarding your high school's requirements and course categorization. Good luck with selecting your classes for junior year!
