ub3rmensch Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Quantitative background: Calculus I (B), Statistics (B) I did not take any economics classes during undergrad. I want to enroll in an online economics course. Should I take macroeconomics or microeconomics or both (would be expensive)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sp108 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 I took AP Micro in high school and passed the exam. However I took Intermediate Micro my sophomore year and made a C. So I decided I should strengthen my foundation in Micro so I am taking a course at UT Austin Extension which has a microeconomics class for around $550.. It's really not that bad. You don't even need to pay for a textbook. Just find it online for free somewhere if you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ub3rmensch Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share Posted December 9, 2015 But which course should I take? I'm also looking into UT extension since that's my alma matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ub3rmensch Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share Posted December 9, 2015 I just looked at UTs and Berkeleys extension programs and they require a proctored exam. Are there any other options for me? I live in a developing country with limited access to Internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxwellAlum Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Microeconomics is more relevant for public policy programs. You also can look into courses through the University of London International Programs, although those do typically require a proctored exam (I think they offer the exams around the world). chocolatecheesecake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
