Estimate at a full-time pace of 30 credits a year (about 2.5 credits a month); Newlane is self-paced, so your own pace sets the real number. Newlane's tuition is $1,500 per degree however many credits you transfer, so UPI Study credits save you time, not tuition.
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 course built around video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam, with grading weighted at 20% quizzes, 30% assignments, and 50% final exam. When you finish and your transcript is sent to Newlane University, Newlane recognizes the course as Principles of Finance through a named course equivalency, which is the strongest form of transfer recognition because it maps to a specific course code in the catalog.
At Newlane, this credit can fit into degree planning for programs such as the Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts or the Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy, where students still need to manage their overall transfer total carefully. The finance skills you build here also support practical decisions about budgets, investments, and risk, which can matter in work and in personal planning even when the course is being applied toward a Newlane degree path.
After you complete the course, your transcript is sent to Newlane University for review. Newlane's registrar applies the course as Principles of Finance, which means the credit is not just counted generally but matched to the specific course in the catalog. That named recognition helps you see where the course fits in your Newlane degree plan, whether you are working toward the Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts, the Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy, or another program. Newlane also has a transfer ceiling of 90 credits, so you still need to plan the rest of your coursework around that limit.
This course is a good fit for students who want to bring a finance requirement into Newlane with a clear named equivalency already in place. It can be especially useful for adults returning to school or students trying to keep transfer efficient, since Newlane allows up to 90 transfer credits and up to 75% of the degree from transfer, but it is not the right choice if you are looking for a course that avoids exams or does not require sustained work across quizzes and assignments.
Newlane University is DEAC-accredited and competency-based — you progress by demonstrating mastery. Tuition is a flat $1,500 per degree ($3,000 for a full bachelor's without an associate degree), and up to 75% of degree credit can come from transfer.
Transfer credits are never guaranteed. Final credit awards are determined solely by the receiving university's registrar.
Enroll for $250 (or use a UPI Study subscription), finish in 28–30 days, and transfer 3 credits to Newlane University.
