About this course

Understanding Microeconomics for your Newlane 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 with video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam, graded 20% quizzes, 30% assignments, and 50% final exam. The course covers supply and demand, prices, consumer behavior, production costs, and the effect of government rules and competition on markets. When you complete it, the transcript credit can be evaluated by Newlane University as Social & Behavioral Science GE, which satisfies a general-education requirement there.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The course builds practical judgment about how people and businesses respond to limited resources, pricing, taxes, and market changes. At Newlane, that kind of credit can fit into degree planning for programs such as the Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts or the Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy, where a Social & Behavioral Science GE slot may be part of the path to completion. If you want a transferable course that supports everyday decision-making as well as degree progress at Newlane, this is a straightforward option.

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 Newlane

After you finish the course, the transcript is sent for evaluation and Newlane University reviews it for transfer. Newlane's registrar applies the credit as Social & Behavioral Science GE when it matches that equivalency, which means the course can satisfy a general-education requirement in the degree plan. That matters because Newlane is competency-based and allows up to 75% of degree credit from transfer, with a ceiling of 90 transfer credits. For students building toward programs like the Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts or the Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy, this can reduce the amount of Newlane coursework still needed.

Who this course is for

This course is a good fit for students who want to move a general-education requirement into Newlane's Social & Behavioral Science GE category while staying within Newlane's transfer limits of up to 90 credits, or 75% of the degree. It can work well for students returning to finish a degree, changing programs, or planning carefully around Newlane's low-cost structure and flat $1,500 bachelor's degree. It is not the best choice for someone looking for a highly specialized economics course that does not need to count as gen ed at Newlane.
