The Social Sciences and History examination covers a wide range of
topics from the social sciences and history disciplines. While the
exam is based on no specific course, its content is drawn from
introductory college courses that cover United States history, Western
civilization, world history, government and political science,
geography, sociology, economics, psychology and anthropology. The
primary objective of the exam is to give you the opportunity to
demonstrate that you possess the level of knowledge and understanding
expected of college students who meet a distribution or general
education requirement in the social sciences and history areas.
