Which intro Economics courses should I take?

Our advisors typically recommend any of the following introductory courses in Economics:

• Econ 0100, Introduction to Microeconomic Theory.
• Econ 0110, Introduction to Macroeconomic Theory.
• These courses provide a two course, in-depth treatment of Economics introductory material. Econ 0100 and Econ 0110 can be taken individually, or they can be taken as a sequence in either order.
• Econ 0800, Introduction to Economics.
• Econ 0800 is a one semester survey course designed for non-majors.

All of the above courses fulfill the College of Arts and Science's general education requirements for Social Science. Students who plan to major in Economics, or to earn a degree in the College of Business Administration, or to pursue the College of Arts and Science's dual business major will need to take both Econ 0100 and Econ 0110.
