Hey, just for context, I am currently a student at Foothill College (juco) with plans of transferring to a UC after next year. I spent my freshman fall semester at Occidental College, a private school, and have spent the Winter and Spring quarters at Foothill College. Because of the switch from semester to the quarter system, it has caused some course articulation confusion. I am aware that econ 1 is a prerequisite for the econ major per assist.org; at Occidental, I took their Econ 101 course for 1 semester. However, the prerequisites for Berkeley from a community college are for two separate micro and macroeconomics classes. Occidental also offers an economics 102 course that is a continuation of the 101 course. Anyways, I was wondering if my econ 101 course is equivalent to Berkeley’s econ 1 course or if I would have to retake both micro and macro. Please let me know.
It won’t fulfill the entire Econ sequence because your course only covered macro. Assist notes that Berkeley’s Econ covers both macro and micro. The second Occidental course covers micro. You will need to take micro at Foothill. I don’t see why you would have to retake macro. Since Foothill only requires two quarter courses to fulfill the Berkeley course, the second alone should be fine, but this is a conversation you need to have with your Foothill advisors, not us.
If you don’t want the semester/quarter dilemma, you might want to take micro as a semester course, either at a nearby CCC or online at http://cvc.edu
