About this course

Understanding Business Math for your CrestPoint credit.

What is Business Math?

Business Math is the use of everyday mathematics in business settings. It covers topics like percentages, fractions, decimals, graphs, equations, probability, statistics, and basic financial calculations such as interest, depreciation, and installment purchases. The goal is to help you understand and solve the kinds of numerical problems that come up in business and personal finance.

How the course teaches you

Business Math is delivered as a self-paced online course with video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam. The grade is based on 25% Attendance, 25% Quizzes, 25% Assignments, and 25% Final Exam, so students need to keep up with each part of the course. When you finish, the transcript reflects the completed course, and CrestPoint University recognizes it as MAT-201 – Ideas in Math, a named course equivalency.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The course builds practical math skills for everyday business and personal finance, including percentages, interest, taxes, graphs, and basic financial calculations. At CrestPoint, that preparation can support degree planning in programs such as the Associate of Paralegal Studies and the Bachelor of Business Administration, where math-related coursework may fit into the broader program path. It is also useful for students who want a credit that transfers into a specific CrestPoint course, rather than just a general elective.

Taking this course toward CrestPoint

After you complete the course, the transcript is sent so CrestPoint can review it for transfer. Under the signed articulation agreement, CrestPoint’s registrar applies the course as MAT-201 – Ideas in Math, which is a named course equivalency tied to a specific catalog course. That matters because it gives you a clear place for the credit in your CrestPoint degree plan, rather than leaving it to an elective-only review. Keep in mind that CrestPoint accepts up to 72 transfer credits, or 60% of a degree program, so this course should be planned within that limit.

Who this course is for

This course is a good fit for students planning ahead for CrestPoint and looking for a named equivalency, MAT-201 – Ideas in Math, instead of guessing how a math course will transfer. It can work well for degree-completion students, working adults, and students trying to stay within CrestPoint’s transfer ceiling of up to 72 credits. It is not the best choice for someone who needs advanced calculus or a highly specialized math course for another school or major.
