[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where does history fit?[/quote] I think there's some variation on this, depending on the emphasis on quantitative methods in programs. Traditionally a humanity, but there is some wiggle room. [/quote] I'm not so sure if quantitative distinguishes social science from humanities. Economics is the only purely quantitative discipline and economics majors have GRE quantitative scores similar to hard science and engineering majors. Other social science have minimal quantitative components. Philosophy majors (humanities) score better on the quantitative section than all social science majors except economics. A lot of analytic philosophy is similar to math.[/quote]
