Is pols a social science?

Could you please clarify whether POLS, which I assume stands for some form of political science or a related field, should be categorized as a social science? It's my understanding that social sciences encompass disciplines that study human behavior and society, such as sociology, psychology, and economics. Would political science, given its focus on the study of politics, governments, and power relations, fall under this umbrella? Or does it have unique characteristics that set it apart from other social sciences?
