<p>Hi, I am currently planning my schedule, and I do not know whether Economics 1 or 2 will be a better option for a prospective econ major. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated!</p>
<p>[General</a> Catalog - Economics Courses](<a href=“http://general-catalog.berkeley.edu/catalog/gcc_list_crse_req?p_dept_name=Economics&p_dept_cd=ECON]General”>http://general-catalog.berkeley.edu/catalog/gcc_list_crse_req?p_dept_name=Economics&p_dept_cd=ECON) says:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It is also a smaller class (schedule currently says limit of 120, but there are only 2 * 30 for the discussions, so only 60 if they do not open more discussions).</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>Most econ majors that I know take Econ 1, it should sufficiently prepare you for the major if you choose that route.</p>
