Econ 3XX = One of the six 300-level economics field courses
Junior year

Here are some hypothetical four-year economics schedules:
Standard Weinberg student with no economics background
First year
X = Classes in some other field that might be a good major for you, or a distribution credit, or just for interest.
Spring quarter is a good time to take Econ 310-1 Intermediate Microeconomics, but you could also take Econ 311 Intermediate Macroeconomics, or if you have had statistics, Econ 281 Introduction to Econometrics. However, we don't recommend taking more than one of these classes at a time during freshman year.
Sophomore year
Senior year
With AP or IB credits
Suppose that someone comes in with credits for Econ 201 and 202. We don't recommend starting fall quarter of freshman year with
Freshman year
