About this course

Understanding Microeconomics for your DSU credit.

What is Microeconomics?

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.

How the course teaches you

Microeconomics (Economics 251) is a 3-credit course that combines video lessons with graded quizzes, assignments, and a final exam. Your final grade is weighted 20% quizzes, 30% assignments, and 50% final exam. Once you complete the course and your transcript reflects it, Dunlap-Stone University recognizes that credit as ECON-263 – Microeconomics.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The course covers supply and demand, pricing, consumer behavior, production costs, and how taxes, regulation, and competition change market outcomes. Those skills carry directly into business decisions about pricing, staffing, and market entry. At DSU, the credit can count toward degrees such as the Associate of Arts: Business Administration, the Bachelor of Business Administration, and the Bachelor of Arts: Psychology, so the same material supports more than one career direction.

Skills you walk away with

Analyze scarcity and trade-offs using the production possibilities frontierInterpret demand, supply, and market equilibriumEvaluate price ceilings, price floors, and government interventionMeasure and apply price elasticity, income elasticity, and cross-price elasticityExplain consumer choice and behavior in market settingsCompare short-run and long-run cost structuresAssess labor, financial, and competitive market conditions

Taking this course toward DSU

After you finish Microeconomics, request that your transcript be sent to Dunlap-Stone University. DSU's registrar applies the course as ECON-263 – Microeconomics, which is a named course equivalency and the strongest form of transfer recognition DSU offers. Check with your DSU advisor to confirm how the credit fits your specific degree plan. Transfer credit from UPI Study may total up to 90 credits, or 75% of your degree.

Who this course is for

This course suits students who want to finish a DSU degree without repeating economics coursework they can complete elsewhere, including working adults fitting study around jobs and students trying to hold down costs. Because DSU recognizes it as a named equivalency, ECON-263 – Microeconomics is a clear match rather than a case-by-case review. Transfer credit can cover up to 90 credits (75%) of a DSU degree, so you still need to complete at least part of your degree at DSU. The course is not a good fit if you need a live, instructor-led class with fixed meeting times, or if you expect a lighter workload than a standard college economics course.
