I am a pre-PA student with a BS in Business and am a semester away from completing prereqs. I am trying to find to determine if I have enough social science courses completed but am a little unclear about what determines if a course falls under the social science category.

I did some Google searching and have found economics courses, for example, under this category. If someone in my position (applying for PA school, PA student, etc.) has any experience in this and can give me a brief list of acceptable social science courses I'd greatly appreciate it. I have calls put into some PA schools but have yet to hear from them. Thanks!
 
it will vary by pa program so the only way to tell is by speaking to each program you are interested in or gathering the info from their websites(some are better than others with 150+ to choose from...).
