Savings estimate uses Gracelyn University's $88.80/credit undergraduate tuition (2026-2027 catalog; $44 with Gracelyn's institutional scholarship). Gracelyn accepts up to 60 transfer credits into a bachelor's and 30 into an associate degree, for courses with a C- or better that fit the program. Final credit awards are determined by Gracelyn University.
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.
Macroeconomics is delivered online and is graded on three parts: quizzes (20%), assignments (30%), and a final exam (50%), so the final exam carries the most weight. Passing the course with a C- or better produces a transcript entry that Gracelyn University recognizes as ECON 2301 – Principles of Microeconomics or ECON 2302 – Principles of Macroeconomics.
The course trains you to read national indicators such as GDP, inflation, and unemployment, and to judge how government policy and economic shocks affect households and employers. Those skills apply directly in the Associate of Science in Transformational Education (ATED) and Bachelor of Science in Transformational Education (BTED) programs, where economic reasoning supports planning for communities and organizations. The same material also helps with personal decisions about prices, borrowing, and long-term budgets.
After you complete Macroeconomics through UPI Study, request that your transcript be sent to Gracelyn University. Gracelyn's registrar then applies the named equivalency, ECON 2301 – Principles of Microeconomics or ECON 2302 – Principles of Macroeconomics, provided the grade is a C- or better and the credit fits your program. Confirm with an advisor which equivalency applies to your degree plan before you enroll in related courses, because that choice affects what remains in your sequence. Transfer credit is capped at 60 credits, so plan the rest of your degree with that ceiling in mind.
This course suits learners who want to move toward a Gracelyn degree without repeating introductory economics they have already covered in a different form. Working adults, students finishing a degree, and people changing careers often fit well, especially those who want to keep tuition low; at $88.80 per credit, a 3-credit course costs $266.40 at Gracelyn's rate. Because Gracelyn accepts up to 60 transfer credits, which is 50% of a degree, the course counts toward that limit. It is not a fit for anyone who needs a microeconomics-only sequence, since Gracelyn names this course as either ECON 2301 or ECON 2302, or for anyone who cannot meet the C- minimum and the requirements of their chosen program.
Gracelyn University is DEAC-accredited and names the Gracelyn course for each UPI Study course on its list, pathway by pathway. Transfer credit needs the equivalent of a C- or better and must fit the program.
Transfer credits are never guaranteed. Final credit awards are determined solely by the receiving university's registrar.
Enroll for $250 (or use a UPI Study subscription), finish in 28–30 days, and transfer 3 credits to Gracelyn University.
