About this course

Understanding Principles of Marketing for your SUNY Empire credit.

What is Principles of Marketing?

Principles of Marketing is the study of how businesses understand customer needs and turn that understanding into products, pricing, promotion, and distribution decisions. It covers how markets are segmented, how buyers make decisions, how organizations buy, and how outside factors such as law, ethics, global markets, and technology affect marketing choices.

How the course teaches you

Principles of Marketing (Marketing 102) is a 3-credit, self-paced online course built around video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam. The grade is based on 20% quizzes, 30% assignments, and 50% the final exam, so students can see exactly how the work is weighted before they begin. When the course is completed, the transcript can be used for SUNY Empire State University transfer review, where it has been verified as MRKT 1005.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The course gives you a practical way to think about customer needs, pricing, promotion, and distribution, which can help in many jobs that connect to SUNY Empire programs such as an Associate Degree or a Bachelor of Science. It also covers market segmentation, buyer behavior, ethics, global markets, and technology, so the material is relevant when you need to understand how organizations make decisions. At SUNY Empire, the credit lands as MRKT 1005, so it can support progress in a degree plan rather than sitting as an unnamed elective.

SUNY Empire accepts UPI Study courses on a course-by-course basis, and this one has a verified named equivalency: MRKT 1005. That matters because a named course equivalency is the strongest form of transfer recognition and gives you a clearer path for degree planning in SUNY Empire programs such as Associate Degree and Bachelor of Science. SUNY Empire allows up to 93 credits, or 75%, to transfer, so this course can be part of a larger transfer strategy without exceeding the university’s ceiling.

Who this course is for

This course is a good fit if you want to move toward SUNY Empire State University and need a verified course-by-course equivalency rather than an uncertain transfer result.
