What is the difference between social science and social studies?

3 answers

Social science is the study of the individuals and their relationship to society...

Social studies involves many areas of study including, geography, economics,government, philosophy, etc.
However, sometimes the terms are used interchangeably. I taught psychology in the Division of Social Sciences at a College.

Although this might confuse the issue for you, I hope this helps a little more. Thanks for asking.
