I need to take both Micro & Macro Economics for my Degree plan and was wondering if a fellow study.com user could help.
Which course should I complete 1st? Will Taking Micro Economics 1st help complete some of the chapters in the Macro? or Vice-Versa?
Any Advice would be greatly appreciated

I took both on Study.com and found that there is only a tiny bit of overlap between them, so it shouldn't really matter what order you take them. I think the traditional approach is macroeconomics first, but took microeconomics first and didn't have any issues.
Personally, I think I prefer micro first since it teaches you about economics on a local level first before moving on to macro where it's more global.

Thanks for the advice. I was hoping there was overlap because although i love study.com format the video lessons sure take a long time to get through

Usually Macro is first, and it's considered easier. I thought it was easier than Micro myself.
