It is for WAEC candidates who intend to study a social science course in the tertiary institution and therefore wish to know which subjects are social science. They wish to know so that they won’t fill and write the wrong subjects in their SSCE and jeopardize their chances of studying their dream course. Hence, I’m going to enlighten you on what the social sciences are all about. I will also give you the list of social science subjects in WAEC that are accepted by tertiary institutions.

What are Social Sciences?

Social sciences are a group of academic disciplines that focus on the study of human beings and their behavior in society. They use empirical and scientific methods to examine social phenomena. Some of the phenomena that social sciences seek to examine include individual and group behavior, social interactions, culture, institutions and societal structures.

Some of the major disciplines under the social sciences are sociology, anthropology, psychology, economics, political science, history and geography. These disciplines employ a variety of research methods to study human behavior and social interactions. They could use surveys, experiments, interviews, observations and statistical analysis.

A decision to study a social sciences course is a good one because the disciplines help us better understand the social world we live in. They also help us to understand the complex social systems that shape our lives. More so, the disciplines provide insights into social problems and help us to develop strategies for addressing social issues like poverty, inequality and conflicts.
