Do you capitalize social studies

Answer 1

You should capitalize the names of school subjects if you are referring to a specific class, like "History 241". If it has a name in it that is already capitalized such as "Spanish" (Spain) or in this case "United States history" I would assume that you capitalize United States because it is always capitalized, but not history unless it is a specific class.

Words such as "Spanish" and "American" are proper adjectives, and they should always be capitalized, just as are written the proper nouns from which they were derived, Spain and Americia. If you are simply referring to a school subject such as mathematics or physics, you would not capitalize these words unless, as previously stated, the names refer to specific class titles, as listed in a college catalog, for instance.

Answer 2

Capitalize only language subjects (English, French, Spanish); Other subjects are not capitalized unless you are referring to specific subjects like Algebra 1, AP Physics.

Example:

My subjects are science, math, English and history.

Answer 3

This has actually become quite a debate, with British grammarians still saying yes, and some American grammarians saying it's not necessary. When I was a kid, I was taught to capitalize them, but years later, many students don't. Generally, the rule is to capitalize only titles, proper names, and the first word in the sentence. For example: History is a wonderful subject. I learned about world history when I studied with Professor Smith. But if it's the title of a course, then it's capitalized: If you want to be a history major at State University, you need to take World History, American History, and Historical Criticism. I enclose a link to one of the style manuals, discussing some of the current capitalization rules.

Answer 4

It should only be capitalized when it's referring to a specific title or name.

For example:

• I'm taking Social Studies 101 next semester.
• Hurry up or we'll be late for social studies.

The first example is capitalized because it's referring to the title of a class.

Answer 5

Only the language subjects are capitalized.

My subjects now are English, math, science, Spanish and history.
