🎯 About BA EL – Business Elective at Indiana Tech
What does 'Elective credit' mean at Indiana Tech?
Elective credit fills the elective portion of a Indiana Tech degree — credits required for graduation but not tied to a specific named course or general education category. Every Indiana Tech degree program reserves a portion of total credits for electives, which gives students flexibility to round out their program.
How many elective credits do I need for my Indiana Tech degree?
Indiana Tech's degree programs each define an elective credit minimum within the total (60 credits for the Associate, 120 for the Bachelor's). The specific count varies by program. Check Indiana Tech's current academic catalog for the exact elective credit requirement.

Is elective credit 'worth less' than named course credit?
No — credit is credit toward your Indiana Tech degree. Elective credits count fully toward the 60-credit Associate or 120-credit Bachelor's total.

About this course

Understanding Financial Management for your Indiana Tech 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 is a 3-credit course with attendance, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam each worth 25% of the grade. The course content is delivered through online study of financial statements, investment decisions, financing choices, and risk management. When you finish and your transcript is reviewed by Indiana Tech, the credit is recognized as BA EL – Business Elective, which applies as elective credit toward your program.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The course builds practical skills in reading financial statements, comparing investment options, and planning around budget and cash flow decisions. At Indiana Tech, that elective credit can support degree progress in programs such as Associate of Science and Bachelor of Science by helping you move through required credit hours without adding unnecessary coursework. Those skills also matter in jobs where you need to understand how money decisions affect risk and planning.

Taking this course toward Indiana Tech

After you complete the course, the transcript is sent for review and Indiana Tech applies the credit as BA EL – Business Elective if the coursework meets its transfer standards.

Indiana Tech accepts transfer credit from regionally and nationally accredited institutions, and curriculum-related coursework with a grade of C or better is considered for credit. Keep in mind that transfer credit is limited to 90 credits, or 75% of the degree.

Who this course is for

This course fits students who want a business-related credit that can transfer to Indiana Tech as BA EL – Business Elective and count toward elective requirements. It is a sensible choice for people working toward an Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science who need flexible transfer credit, especially when staying within Indiana Tech's limit of up to 90 transferable credits.
