Savings = semester credits × $518: Strayer's $1,555 undergraduate tuition per course (strayer.edu, 13 Oct 2026) divided by the 3 semester hours one Strayer course equals. Strayer makes the final credit award.
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.
Macroeconomics (Economics 252) is a self-paced online course built around video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam. Grading is weighted 20% quizzes, 30% assignments, and 50% final exam, so the final exam carries the most weight. Earning a grade of C or higher produces the transcript credit that Strayer recognizes as ELC000 – General Elective.
The course teaches you to read GDP, inflation, and unemployment data and to judge how government policy and economic shocks shift outcomes. Those skills carry into budgeting, reading the job market, and weighing personal financial choices. At Strayer, the credit fills an elective slot in programs such as the Associate in Arts and the Bachelor's degree, so the reasoning you practice here contributes to a degree you are already working toward.
After you finish the course, your official transcript is sent to Strayer, where the registrar reviews it for transfer. Strayer applies the credit as ELC000 – General Elective, which counts toward your total credit hours and elective requirements in programs such as the Associate in Arts and the Bachelor's degree. Strayer's 2026-2027 catalog accepts credit reviewed by ACE and NCCRS with a grade of C or higher, up to 126 quarter hours toward a bachelor's degree. Before you enroll, review your degree plan with a Strayer advisor to confirm how many elective hours remain.
This course suits adults finishing a Strayer degree who still have elective hours to fill, particularly those trying to limit what they pay at Strayer's $518 per-credit rate. Because the credit is recognized as a general elective rather than a specific major course, it helps most when your degree plan has open elective space, and transfer credit can cover up to 126 quarter hours (70%) of your program. It is not the right choice if you need an economics course that satisfies a particular major requirement or if you want a course with live, instructor-led meeting times.
Strayer University signed an articulation agreement with UPI Study (effective 15 June 2025). Its 2026-2027 catalog accepts credit reviewed by ACE and NCCRS, with a grade of C or higher, up to 126 quarter hours toward a bachelor's degree.
Transfer credits are never guaranteed. Strayer determines, in its sole discretion, which credits qualify under the agreement and its transfer credit policies.
