Hey guys, so I'm trying to plan my high school classes and I was wondering if taking a government class would count as a history class? Gotta make sure I'm fulfilling those requirements!
Yes, generally speaking, a government class is considered a part of the broader social studies subject area, which includes history courses. High schools typically classify courses like government, civics, and political science under the umbrella of social studies or history requirements.
To be certain, you should check your specific high school's graduation requirements and speak with your school counselor. They can provide clear guidance on which courses fulfill your school's history requirements and help you plan your academic schedule accordingly. It's always a good idea to ensure you're on track for graduation and meeting any prerequisites needed for college application requirements.
