About this course

Understanding Macroeconomics for your DSU 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

The course is self-paced and runs online, so you move through video lessons on your own schedule. Your grade is built from quizzes (20%), assignments (30%), and a final exam (50%), which means the exam carries the most weight and the earlier work is where you practice for it. Once you pass the course, the transcript credit it produces is what Dunlap-Stone University reviews and recognizes as ECON-264 – Macroeconomics.

How it helps beyond the classroom

Macroeconomics trains you to read the economy as a system, using indicators like GDP, inflation, and unemployment to judge where conditions are heading and how government policy might change them. Those habits carry into business planning, budgeting, and reading the news with more precision. At DSU, the credit can be applied within programs such as the Associate of Arts: Business Administration and the Bachelor of Business Administration, where macro reasoning is directly relevant, and it can also be used in the Bachelor of Arts: Psychology program under DSU's transfer rules.

Skills you walk away with

Interpreting GDP and other macroeconomic indicatorsConverting nominal values to real valuesAnalyzing unemployment and inflation trendsEvaluating trade balances and capital flowsUsing aggregate demand and aggregate supply modelsComparing Keynesian and neoclassical explanationsAssessing the effects of macroeconomic policy

Taking this course toward DSU

After you finish the course, UPI Study sends your transcript to Dunlap-Stone University, and DSU's registrar reviews it for credit. Under the signed articulation agreement, the course is recognized as ECON-264 – Macroeconomics, a named equivalency that maps to a specific catalog course rather than a general elective. Your degree audit will show that course as completed, so you should confirm with a DSU advisor how it fits your particular program's requirements. Transfer credit from UPI Study may total up to 90 credits, which is 75% of the credits needed for a degree at DSU.

Who this course is for

This course suits students who want to earn Dunlap-Stone credit for macroeconomics without paying DSU's $475 per-credit rate for an equivalent course, and it is useful for those who are returning to finish a degree or switching fields into business. Because DSU recognizes it as the named equivalency ECON-264 – Macroeconomics, you can plan on that specific course code appearing on your DSU record. Transfer is capped at 90 credits, or 75% of a degree, so the course works best for students who still have enough remaining credits to complete at DSU. It is not a fit for anyone who needs a live, instructor-led class or who expects the course to satisfy a requirement outside DSU's transfer agreement.
