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 (Finance 201) is a 3-credit online course built around video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam. The grade is based on 20% quizzes, 30% assignments, and 50% final exam, so students are assessed throughout the course rather than only at the end. When you complete it and a transcript is issued, Indiana Tech recognizes the coursework as FIN 3600 – Principles of Finance, a named course equivalency.
The course builds practical skills in reading financial statements, comparing investment options, and judging risk and return, which are useful in everyday financial decisions and in business settings. At Indiana Tech, that learning can support degree progress in programs such as the Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science, where finance knowledge may fit into a broader plan of study. Because the course is recognized as FIN 3600 – Principles of Finance, it can help students move through an Indiana Tech degree with a clearer understanding of money decisions and capital planning.
After you finish the course, your transcript is sent for review and Indiana Tech applies the credit as FIN 3600 – Principles of Finance when the coursework meets its transfer standards. That named recognition matters because it tells you the course matches a specific catalog course at Indiana Tech, which can make it easier to understand how it fits into your degree plan. 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. Even with transfer credit, Indiana Tech's overall ceiling is up to 90 credits, or 75% of a degree.
This course is a good fit for students planning toward Indiana Tech who want a finance requirement that carries a named equivalency, not just elective credit. It may be especially useful for students who need to stay within Indiana Tech's transfer limit of up to 90 credits and want coursework that is more likely to apply directly to a degree plan. It is not the right choice for someone who is looking for an unrelated general-interest class with no connection to FIN 3600 – Principles of Finance.
Indiana Institute of Technology (Indiana Tech) is HLC-accredited and accepts transfer credit from both regionally and nationally accredited institutions. Curriculum-related coursework with a grade of C or better is considered for credit.
Transfer credits are never guaranteed. Final credit awards are determined solely by the receiving university's registrar.
