About this course

Understanding Macroeconomics for your Nexford 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-based instruction, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam. The grade is built from 20% quizzes, 30% assignments, and 50% the final exam, so students need to keep up throughout the course rather than relying on one assessment. When the completed transcript is reviewed by Nexford University, it can be recognized as ECO2100 – Principles of Macroeconomics, a named course equivalency in the Nexford catalog.

How it helps beyond the classroom

Macroeconomics helps students make sense of GDP, inflation, unemployment, trade, and government policy, which are useful ideas in both work and everyday financial decisions. At Nexford, that credit can support progress in programs such as the Associate of Applied Science or Bachelor of Business Administration, where ECO2100 – Principles of Macroeconomics fits as a specific course match rather than an elective guess. That makes it easier to see how the course contributes to a degree plan at Nexford.

Skills you walk away with

Taking this course toward Nexford

For this course, that match is ECO2100 – Principles of Macroeconomics, which means Nexford recognizes it as the equivalent of that specific course in the degree plan. Because Nexford allows up to 90 transfer credits, or 75% of an undergraduate program, this can help reduce the number of courses left in programs such as the Associate of Applied Science or Bachelor of Business Administration. Nexford is DEAC-accredited and also offers a free, no-obligation transfer credit evaluation before you commit.

Who this course is for

This course is a good fit for students who want to bring prior learning into a Nexford degree and prefer a clear, named match like ECO2100 – Principles of Macroeconomics. It is especially relevant for people working toward a Nexford associate or bachelor’s program who want to use transfer credit within Nexford’s limit of up to 90 credits, or 75% of an undergraduate program. It is not the best choice for someone who needs a broad set of credits without a specific course alignment or who is not planning to transfer to Nexford.
