There are two main (informal) tracks of economics you can take: The quantitative and non-quantitative track. The quantitative classes include Econ 101A, 101B, and 141. They typically have much harder material, but the grading curve is more forgiving. I can’t speak to the rigor of the other classes, however the ones I have taken are highly rigorous. You can get a solid grounding in economics here.
