About this course

Understanding Marketing Research for your Newlane credit.

What is Marketing Research?

Marketing Research is the study of how businesses collect and use information about customers, competitors, and markets to make better decisions. It covers how people choose products, how to segment a market, and how to gather and interpret data through surveys, interviews, experiments, and existing reports. Students also learn how to turn that data into conclusions that can guide marketing strategy.

How the course teaches you

Marketing Research (Marketing 300) is a 3-credit course built around attendance, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam, each worth 25% of the grade. Students work through the material on consumer behavior, segmentation, research methods, and data analysis, then complete the assessments that show mastery of the course outcomes. When the transcript is issued, Newlane University recognizes the course as Elective credit, so it counts toward total credits in a Newlane degree plan.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The course gives you a practical way to read customer behavior, compare market options, and use research findings in everyday decision-making. At Newlane, that credit can sit inside programs such as the Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts or the Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy as Elective credit, helping you build toward the degree without losing credit hours. For students planning around Newlane's flat per-degree tuition and transfer-friendly structure, this kind of elective can support progress while keeping the overall path organized.

Skills you walk away with

Taking this course toward Newlane

After you complete the course, the transcript is sent to Newlane University, where the registrar reviews it for transfer. Newlane applies Marketing Research as Elective credit, which means it counts toward your total credits and can help fill elective space in a degree plan such as the Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts or the Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy. Because Newlane allows up to 90 transfer credits, or 75% of the degree, this course can be part of a larger transfer strategy without exceeding the university's ceiling. Newlane is DEAC-accredited and competency-based, so transfer credit fits into a model where progress is based on demonstrated mastery.

Who this course is for

This course is a good fit for students who want a transferable elective that supports a Newlane degree plan without needing a direct major match. It can work well for adults returning to finish a credential, students moving between schools, or anyone trying to use transfer credit efficiently within Newlane's limit of up to 90 credits, or 75% of the degree. It is less useful if you need a course that applies as a specific major requirement rather than an Elective at Newlane.
