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.
Healthcare Finance and Budgeting looks at how money moves through healthcare organizations and how those organizations plan, track, and report their finances. It covers the basics of accounting, budgeting, revenue, costs, payer systems, and the rules that affect financial decisions in hospitals, clinics, and other health settings.
The course is self-paced and online, with video lessons, quizzes, an assignment, and a final exam. Grading is split evenly across four parts: 25% Attendance, 25% Quizzes, 25% Assignments, and 25% Final Exam. Once you finish and the transcript credit posts, Dunlap-Stone University recognizes the 3 credits as a Business Elective under the articulation agreement.
Healthcare Finance and Budgeting teaches you to read financial statements, follow the accounting principles behind them, and build a budget that stays on track. Those skills carry over to managing a department, reviewing a clinic's operating costs, or understanding how payer systems affect revenue. At DSU, the 3 credits count as elective hours, so they can contribute to the Associate of Arts in Business Administration, the Bachelor of Business Administration, or the Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, depending on how your degree plan allocates electives.
After you complete Healthcare Finance and Budgeting, your transcript is sent to Dunlap-Stone University. DSU's registrar then applies the course as a Business Elective, using the equivalency Appendix 1 assigns to it. This credit counts toward your total credit hours and your elective requirements, so it reduces the number of additional electives you need to complete your degree plan. Transfer credit from UPI Study courses may total up to 90 credits (75%) of your DSU coursework, so check your remaining credit balance with your advisor before you enroll.
This course suits working adults who already handle budgets or reporting and want a formal credential, degree-finishers who need a few elective hours to close out a DSU program, and career changers moving toward health administration. Cost-conscious students also tend to benefit, since the same 3 credits would cost $1,425 at DSU's $475 per-credit rate if taken there. Keep in mind that transfer credit is capped: DSU accepts up to 90 credits (75%) from transfer sources, so this course counts toward that ceiling. It is not a good fit for someone who needs a live, instructor-led class with fixed meeting times, or for anyone expecting the course to cover clinical or patient-care topics in depth.
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.
