About this course

Understanding Microeconomics for your Nexford credit.

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

This Microeconomics course is built around video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam, with grading weighted at 20% Quizzes, 30% Assignments, and 50% Final Exam. When you finish the course and send your transcript for review, Nexford can recognize it as ECO2150 – Principles of Microeconomics, a named course equivalency in its catalog.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The course helps you understand how prices, consumer choices, and market conditions affect everyday decisions in areas like labor, goods, and financial services, which is useful in business settings as well as personal decision-making.
