About this course

Understanding Macroeconomics for your CrestPoint credit.

What is Macroeconomics?

Macroeconomics studies the economy as a whole rather than individual buyers or firms. It looks at topics such as GDP, inflation, unemployment, economic growth, trade, and the effects of government policy on overall economic conditions. The course also compares major ways economists explain the economy, including Keynesian and neoclassical perspectives.

How the course teaches you

This self-paced online Macroeconomics course (Economics 252) uses video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam, with grading weighted as 20% quizzes, 30% assignments, and 50% final exam. After you complete the course, the transcript can be sent for CrestPoint University review, where it is recognized as ECO-102 – Macroeconomics through a named course equivalency in the signed articulation agreement with UPI Study.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The course builds practical economic reasoning you can use when reading business conditions, following inflation or unemployment trends, or weighing the effects of policy changes. At CrestPoint, that preparation connects directly to ECO-102 – Macroeconomics, which can support degree planning in programs such as the Associate of Paralegal Studies and the Bachelor of Business Administration.

Skills you walk away with

Taking this course toward CrestPoint

Once you finish, the transcript is sent to CrestPoint University for evaluation. CrestPoint’s registrar applies the course as ECO-102 – Macroeconomics, which is a named course equivalency and the strongest form of transfer recognition because it maps to a specific course code in the catalog. That matters when you are building a degree plan for CrestPoint programs like the Associate of Paralegal Studies or the Bachelor of Business Administration, since the credit can be placed with the course it matches rather than as an unspecified elective. Keep in mind that CrestPoint accepts up to 72 transfer credits, or 60% of a degree.

Who this course is for

This course is a good fit if you want a CrestPoint transfer class that carries a named equivalency, ECO-102 – Macroeconomics, and you are planning carefully around CrestPoint’s transfer ceiling of up to 72 credits. It is often useful for students finishing a degree, changing fields, or trying to keep costs manageable while earning credit that fits a specific catalog course. It is not the right choice if you need a course outside macroeconomics or if you are not working toward a program where ECO-102 supports your CrestPoint plan.
