About this course

Understanding Financial Management for your CrestPoint credit.

What is Financial Management?

Financial Management is the study of how organizations plan, use, and protect money. It covers how businesses read financial statements, decide whether an investment is worth making, choose between financing options, and manage risk so they can meet their goals. The course also introduces the financial system around the business, including markets, institutions, and the role of the financial manager.

How the course teaches you

Financial Management (Finance 204) is a 3-credit self-paced online course built around video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam. The grading is 25% Attendance, 25% Quizzes, 25% Assignments, and 25% Final Exam, so each part matters equally as you work through the material. When you finish, the transcript can be reviewed by CrestPoint University and recognized as FIN-401 – Corporate Financial Management, which is a named course equivalency.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The course gives you practical tools for reading financial statements, comparing financing options, and understanding risk, which can help in day-to-day decisions as well as workplace planning. At CrestPoint, that preparation connects directly to FIN-401 – Corporate Financial Management and can support degree plans such as the Bachelor of Business Administration. It is also relevant for students in programs like the Associate of Paralegal Studies who want a stronger grasp of financial processes and organizational decision-making.

Taking this course toward CrestPoint

After completion, your transcript is sent for review and CrestPoint University applies the credit as FIN-401 – Corporate Financial Management under the signed articulation agreement with UPI Study. Because this is a named course equivalency, it maps to a specific catalog course at CrestPoint rather than a general elective. That matters when you are building a degree plan for programs such as the Associate of Paralegal Studies or the Bachelor of Business Administration, since the credit can be placed where the curriculum calls for FIN-401. CrestPoint accepts up to 72 transfer credits, which is 60% of the degree.

Who this course is for

This course is a good fit for students planning to transfer to CrestPoint and looking for a named course equivalency rather than an elective-only result. It can help degree-finishers, working adults, and students who want to make efficient use of CrestPoint’s 72-credit transfer limit, especially if they are aiming at programs such as the Bachelor of Business Administration. It is not the best choice for someone who does not need FIN-401 – Corporate Financial Management in their CrestPoint plan or who is not working toward a transfer path at CrestPoint.
