What are the Social Science subjects?

Let me show you the social science subjects offered in various secondary schools, universities, higher institutions in Nigeria and elsewhere.

If you are a secondary school student, especially those thinking of which course to study in the university, you might be wondering what subjects fall into the social science category or what O’level subjects (or JAMB subjects)  are required to study social science courses in the university, polytechnic or other higher institutions in Nigeria.

Remember to study past questions and answers for free at EduPadi Classroom.

In this post, I want to list out Social Science subjects in secondary schools so you can know where each subject falls into and be properly guided when selecting your O’level subjects for WAEC, NECO, GCE, JAMB etc; or when choosing a course to study in the university.

List of Social Science subjects in secondary schools

  1. Use of English
  2. Government
  3. History
  4. Economics

  2. Government
  3. History
  4. Christian Religious Studies, CRS (CRK)
  5. Islamic Religious Studies, IRS (IRK)
  6. Economics
