What’s the difference between History and Social Studies?

history
Read what Antone has to say:


I’m on Collegeboard and it’s asking me how many years of Social Studies I’ve taken. I’ve always thought that social studies was the same as History, but it also asks me how many years of History I’ve taken. I plan on taking two years of History (I’m a Sophomore) and I don’t know what they mean. The college I want to go to (UNC at Chapel Hill) doesn’t require history, but they require three years of social studies. Would my two years in History (World History and US History) count as social studies?

Are Social Studies and History both the same? If not how would I fufill their requirements?
