The term used is STEM and with the rise of STEM, other(?) soft(?) social(?) sciences are definitely being deprecated. The argument here is that economists, based on their use of math, are attempting to end up in the STEM bucket rather than the social science bucket.

Economics as a study pre-dates many STEM fields as academic study.
