CURRICULUM GUIDE

About the Minnesota Social Studies Curriculum

How Minnesota Academic Standards Works

Minnesota sets its own social studies standards, organized into strands covering civics, economics, geography, and history from Kindergarten through high school.

How Minnesota Differs

Minnesota separates high school social studies into four distinct courses - Civics and Government, Economics, Geography, and History - rather than combining them into a single sequence.

How Minnesota Social Studies Progresses

Students move from community and map skills in early grades through U.S. and world history in middle school, finishing with four named high school courses.

How Minnesota Assesses Social Studies

Minnesota administers the MCA for social studies in 8th grade and high school, measuring student proficiency against the Minnesota Academic Standards.
