Econ 1? Econ 2? or Econ 10?

<p>I am attending Wharton this fall.
I do not have AP credit in either Micro or Macro.
Taking that into account, should I be taking Econ 1 and 2 or Econ 10 my freshman year? </p>

<p>Are we supposed to take both Econ 001 and Econ 002 or just Econ 10? If I take both Econ 1 and Econ 2 will that restrict me from taking other classes in terms of space, or is it common to take both Econ courses? I am asking this because my high school did not offer either of the AP Economics courses so I do not have a background in Micro or Macro</p>

<p>take econ 10 in my opinion. You honestly don’t need a semester to learn marginal revenue = marginal cost (70% of AP micro exam).</p>

<p>Wharton students are supposed to take Econ 10. Econ 10 was made for Wharton students. If you only have AP credit for Micro, you can take Econ 2 instead. If you only have AP credit for Macro, you can take Econ 1 instead. Econ 10 prepares you well enough for Wharton courses and taking 1 and 2 chews up too much time. However, if you want to take a lot of econ courses for whatever reason, you might be better off taking Econ 1, 2, and 101 vs Econ 10 and BPUB 250.</p>
