"What do you mean by 'Humanities and Social Sciences' huh?" I can't even begin to tell you how often we get this question. Hence this blog post....
I hate giving away the answers. Instead, I like to provide people with tools to find the answers themselves. It reminds me of that quote about teaching someone to fish, rather than fishing for them. Let me find it. Ah, here...
So... rather than provide an answer with a list of subjects that fall within the Humanities and Social Sciences (too easy), I direct them to Wikipedia where I've found the most comprehensive list of subject areas for the two disciplines. Here, check it out:
Last but not least, since I love photos, here's a visual....
Finally (even though the above was "last, but not least"), whenever we talk about "quarter units", questions arise regarding "semester units" and whether we accept semester units. UCSF is on the quarter system so we count everything in quarter units. To convert your semester units to quarter units...
I think that's all for now. Carry on....

if I take both macroeconomic and macroeconomic would one of them consider as those extra 4 courses that we should take in human sciences?
Yes. If you complete both macroeconomics and microeconomics, one can be used for our econ requirement and the other can be listed to fulfill additional elective unit requirements.
all of my units add to 27 and to get to 28 i have an art class but it is 4.5 quarter units and if i add it it passes the 28 units mark, can i still add it?
There's a post called "The Magic 28" that will answer this question. http://pharmdadmissions.ucsf.edu/2014/10/the-magic-28.html
I am taking German as my elective. Could it be counted as humanity or social science?
Yes, it would be considered an elective. Please review the links included in the post.
Hello! I was wondering if applicants who will hold a bachelor's degree upon entry into the PharmD program at UCSF will be "exempt" from the social science/humanities requirements? Thank you!
Unfortunately, we don’t exempt applicants from our social science/humanities requirements. We want applicants to have a well-rounded academic background and these requirements, although not math/science, are important.
Can I do public speaking and other humanities courses online?
We would consider online courses, depending on the subject. But not public speaking.
Would any of these satisfy-atmospheric science,community health(drug use and abuse,human sexuality)?
You should contact our office about these. The courses aren't totally clear.
If humanities include the study of ancient and modern languages. Does college level Chinese language arts meet the requirement?
Yes, Chinese language arts is a study of language.
