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.
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.
The course is self-paced and online, built around video lessons that walk through supply and demand, consumer choice, production costs, and government rules on markets. Your final grade combines quizzes (20%), assignments (30%), and a final exam (50%), so the exam carries the most weight. A completed course with a grade of C or higher produces the transcript credit that Strayer reviews and records as ELC000 – General Elective.
Microeconomics gives you a repeatable way to think through why prices move, how a tax or regulation shifts a market, and what competition does to the choices sellers make. Those habits apply to a job offer, a household budget, or a purchase decision. At Strayer, the credit lands as a general elective, so it counts toward total hours in an Associate in Arts or a Bachelor's degree, and the strategy-focused material is most relevant if your coursework leans toward business subjects.
Once you finish, your transcript is sent to Strayer, where the registrar applies the credit as ELC000 – General Elective. Strayer recognizes the course as an elective equivalency, so it counts toward total credit hours and elective requirements in your degree plan. 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. After the credit posts, check your Strayer degree audit to confirm where it appears.
This course suits adults returning to finish a Strayer degree who need elective hours filled, and students changing fields who want to carry useful credit into a new plan. Because Strayer recognizes it as a general elective rather than a named requirement, it fills an elective slot and does not replace a specific required course on its own. Strayer accepts up to 126 credits (70%) in transfer, so this course is one part of a broader plan. It is not a good fit if you need a course that satisfies a particular major requirement, or if you cannot commit to graded quizzes, assignments, and a final exam.
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.
Enroll for $250 (or use a UPI Study subscription), finish in 28–30 days, and transfer 3 credits to Strayer University.
