Savings estimate = credits × $475, DSU's undergraduate rate of $1,425 per 3-credit course (2026-2027 Academic Catalog). Under the articulation agreement DSU does not charge tuition for the UPI Study courses it recognizes as credit. Credit awards are subject to DSU's registrar review and policy.
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.
Financial Management is a self-paced online course built around video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam. Your course grade is weighted equally across four parts: 25% Attendance, 25% Quizzes, 25% Assignments, and 25% Final Exam. When you complete the course, the resulting transcript credit is what Dunlap-Stone University recognizes as a Business Elective.
The course teaches you to read financial statements, run ratio and cash flow analysis, weigh investments against their risks, and compare financing options. Those skills apply to budgeting a household, evaluating a small business plan, or making a case to a manager. At DSU, the 3 credits count toward the Business Elective requirement in programs such as the Associate of Arts: Business Administration and the Bachelor of Business Administration, and they can also count toward total credit hours in a Bachelor of Arts: Psychology.
After you finish Financial Management through UPI Study, request that your transcript be sent to Dunlap-Stone University. DSU's registrar reviews the record and applies the course as a Business Elective under the articulation agreement, which means the 3 credits count toward total credit hours and elective requirements in your degree plan. Once applied, the credit reduces the number of elective hours you need to complete at DSU. Transfer credit at DSU is limited to 90 credits, which is 75% of a degree, so this course counts toward that limit along with any other transferred coursework.
This course suits people who want to finish a DSU degree at a lower cost, such as adults returning to school, students close to graduation who need a few more elective hours, and people moving into business roles from another field. Because DSU recognizes the course as an elective equivalency, it fills elective slots and counts toward total credits, but it does not replace a specifically named required course. Transfer credit is capped at 90 credits (75%), so students who expect to take most of their degree elsewhere should plan around that ceiling. It is not a good fit for anyone who needs a live, instructor-led finance class or who expects this course to satisfy a named finance requirement.
Dunlap-Stone University recognizes UPI Study courses for credit in its undergraduate degrees under the signed articulation agreement. Each course below has the DSU course, general education category or elective credit Appendix 1 assigns it.
Transfer credits are never guaranteed. Students must be enrolled at DSU in good standing and meet course and program requirements. DSU is solely responsible for how it recognizes UPI Study courses.
Enroll for $250 (or use a UPI Study subscription), finish in 28–30 days, and transfer 3 credits to Dunlap-Stone University.
