Principles of Finance is the study of how money is used, valued, and managed in business decisions. It covers how companies raise and spend capital, how to read financial statements, and how to judge whether an investment or project is worth pursuing. The course also introduces the basic tools used to compare future and present value, risk, and return.
Principles of Finance is a self-paced online course built around video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam, with grading weighted 20% Quizzes, 30% Assignments, and 50% Final Exam. When you finish, the transcript can be sent for CrestPoint review, and CrestPoint recognizes the course as FIN-101 – Principles of Finance through a named course equivalency.
The material helps you make sense of budgets, borrowing, investing, and business decisions, which is useful whether you are managing personal finances or working with company records and reports. At CrestPoint, the credit can fit into programs such as the Associate of Paralegal Studies or the Bachelor of Business Administration, where understanding financial statements and capital decisions can support later coursework.
After completion, your transcript is sent for review and CrestPoint applies the course as FIN-101 – Principles of Finance under the signed articulation agreement with UPI Study. That named recognition means the credit maps to a specific course in the CrestPoint catalog, which can support degree planning in programs such as the Bachelor of Business Administration or the Associate of Paralegal Studies. CrestPoint accepts up to 72 transfer credits, or 60% of a degree, so this course may help you move credits into the right place without exceeding that limit. CrestPoint also accepts transfer credit recommended by ACE, NCCRS, and CCAP, but this course is already tied to a specific CrestPoint equivalency.
This course is a practical choice for students planning ahead for CrestPoint and wanting a course with a specific named match, FIN-101 – Principles of Finance, rather than a general elective. It can suit students who need transfer credit that may help them stay within CrestPoint's 72-credit maximum, but it is not the right fit if you are looking for a course outside finance or do not need a direct course equivalency.
