Hi Mikaela,
Just so you know, your major within Letters and Sciences is completely undetermined until you come to Berkeley and actually declare it, so don’t feel like you are stuck with PACS.

I am a Political Economy major, which is sort of a sister major to PACS (both are in the International and Area Studies Department) but with more economics. I can tell you that I think PE is great here. My professors include a former Clinton administration advisor, one listed in the Economist as among the most influential recession economists in the world, and a former Secretary of Labor (Robert Reich). I would decide based on which University fits you better.
