Should I take Economics or Geography?

College Majors

<p>I'm a community college student (De Anza) looking to transfer to San Francisco State for Urban Studies, then move on to graduate school for Urban Planning. My articulation agreement is pretty much empty, and the Community College Outreach adviser at San Francisco State says I can take what I want, so long as I have 90 quarter/60 semester units and my GE requirements are filled. I should, of course, take as much stuff related to my major as possible. I have wrote up an ed plan towards this end, and have mostly filled it, except for a couple details. I'm taking two Geography classes, and De Anza offers three - Physical, Cultural, and World Regional. I need to pick which two. I also can't decide between taking Microeconomics and taking all three Geographies offered instead of two. It seems like an Econ is important, but so is Geo, and there is a certain appeal to taking all the classes in the department. If I stacked my upper division electives right, I could maybe pick up a Geography minor.</p>

<p>Also, is Physical Geography redundant if I'm taking Intro classes in Geology, Meteorology, and Environmental Science?</p>

<p>I’d go for the cultural and world regional. You’ve already got a good basis in physical geography through your other intro classes as mentioned. Ditch the physical geography if there’s too much overlap.</p>

<p>Otherwise, the microeconomics is a really important area to consider in urban planning and will add breadth to your major and the cultural geography.</p>
