This study analyzes the effects of integration in social studies on the scopes and sequences of economic education curriculum focusing on the types of integration in social studies in the Texas and California States. We compare the sequences of economic education with the voluntary national content standard in economics presented by Council for Economic Education. Texas State shows the multidisciplinary approach in social studies, in which some economic concepts are omitted but the sequences of economic education curriculum are fairly kept. On the contrary, California State shows the interdisciplinary approach, in which most economic concepts are fairly kept but the sequences of economic education are broken.
