Savings estimate = credits × $325, CrestPoint's published undergraduate per-credit rate (crestpoint.edu/Tuition). CrestPoint accepts up to 72 general education transfer credits and requires a grade of C- or better. Credit awards are subject to CrestPoint's registrar review and policy.
Microeconomics is the study of how individuals, households, and businesses make choices when resources are limited. It focuses on topics like supply and demand, prices, consumer behavior, production costs, and how markets respond to government rules, taxes, and competition. In this course, you learn how these decisions shape everyday markets such as labor, goods, and financial services.
Microeconomics (Economics 251) is a 3-credit, self-paced online course built around video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam. The grade is based on 20% quizzes, 30% assignments, and 50% the final exam, so the work is spread across the term rather than concentrated in one format. When you finish, the transcript can be sent for CrestPoint University review, and CrestPoint recognizes the course as ECO-101 – Microeconomics, a named course equivalency in its catalog.
The course gives you a practical way to think about pricing, competition, consumer behavior, and business decisions, which can help in day-to-day work and in evaluating how markets change. At CrestPoint, that learning can support degree progress in programs such as the Associate of Paralegal Studies or the Bachelor of Business Administration, where ECO-101 – Microeconomics may fit into the plan. It is useful when you need to understand how taxes, rules, and market structure affect business choices.
After you complete the course, the transcript is sent for CrestPoint University review, and the registrar applies the course as ECO-101 – Microeconomics under the signed articulation agreement with UPI Study. Because this is a named course equivalency, it maps to a specific CrestPoint catalog course rather than being treated as an unspecified transfer course. That makes it easier to place within a degree plan for programs such as the Associate of Paralegal Studies or the Bachelor of Business Administration. Keep in mind that CrestPoint accepts up to 72 transfer credits, or 60% of a degree, so this course should be considered within that overall limit.
This course is a good fit if you are trying to earn transfer credit for CrestPoint and want a named equivalency rather than a general elective, since CrestPoint assigns it as ECO-101 – Microeconomics under its articulation agreement with UPI Study. It can work well for students who need to stay within the 72-credit transfer ceiling and want to use a 3-credit course toward a CrestPoint degree plan. It is less useful if you are not planning to transfer to CrestPoint or if your program does not need Microeconomics in the first place.
CrestPoint University accepts transfer credit recommended by ACE, NCCRS, and CCAP. Under the signed articulation agreement with UPI Study, each course below has an assigned CrestPoint course equivalent.
