About this course

Understanding Macroeconomics for your Newlane 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

Macroeconomics (Economics 252) is a 3-credit course with video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam. The grade is based on 20% quizzes, 30% assignments, and 50% final exam, so students need to show steady progress as well as final mastery. When the course appears on the transcript and is reviewed for transfer, Newlane recognizes it as Social & Behavioral Science GE, which satisfies a general-education requirement.

How it helps beyond the classroom

This course builds a working understanding of inflation, unemployment, growth, trade, and policy, which can help students make better decisions in jobs that involve budgeting, planning, or analysis. At Newlane, that benefit can count directly toward a degree plan in programs such as the Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts or the Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy, since the course comes in as Social & Behavioral Science GE.

Taking this course toward Newlane

After completion, the transcript is sent for review and Newlane applies the credit according to its transfer policies. Because Newlane recognizes this course as Social & Behavioral Science GE, it can satisfy a general-education slot in the degree plan rather than leaving the student to fill that requirement later. Newlane allows up to 90 transfer credits, which is 75% of a bachelor's degree, and up to 75% of degree credit may come from transfer overall. That makes this course useful for students building toward Newlane programs such as the Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts or the Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy.

Who this course is for

This course is a good fit for students who want to finish a Newlane degree efficiently and use transfer credit toward a general-education requirement. It can work well for people balancing school with work or other commitments, especially if they are watching transfer limits and want credit that Newlane applies as Social & Behavioral Science GE. It is not the best choice for someone looking for a course that transfers as a major-specific economics requirement at Newlane, because the documented equivalency here is general education.
