  2. Social Studies Requirement 02

How to Improve Content Coverage

Using the “Most Aligned” Set of Courses, current course requirements can address up to 53.85% coverage of social studies topics.

The topics still lacking coverage include:

  • Geographic Representations
  • Human-Environment Interactions
  • Political institutions, Participation, Rules and Laws
  • Economic Principles and Exchange
  • The Economy
  • US History - 20th Century and Beyond

  • Geographic Representations: GEO 201
  • Human-Environment Interactions: GEO 201
