Business Essentials is an introductory course that explains how businesses work and why they make the decisions they do. It covers core ideas such as supply and demand, business ownership, leadership, operations, ethics, and how companies respond to customers, workers, competitors, and government policy.
Business Essentials (Business 100) is a 3-credit course with a mix of video-based instruction, quizzes, assignments, attendance, and a final exam. The grading split is 25% Attendance, 25% Quizzes, 25% Assignments, and 25% Final Exam, so the transcript reflects completed work that Nexford University can review for transfer. At Nexford, that transcript credit is recognized as a Business Elective, which means it applies as elective credit rather than a direct major requirement.
The course builds practical understanding of how businesses respond to customers, workers, competitors, and government policy, which can help in day-to-day decisions at work and in planning a degree path. At Nexford, that learning may fit into programs such as the Associate of Applied Science or Bachelor of Business Administration as Business Elective credit. Because it counts toward elective requirements, it can help students move forward without adding unnecessary coursework.
After you finish the course, the transcript is sent for review and Nexford University applies the credit according to its transfer evaluation process. Nexford recognizes Business Essentials as a Business Elective, so the credit counts toward total credit hours and elective requirements in the degree plan. That can help students make progress in programs such as the Associate of Applied Science or Bachelor of Business Administration while staying within Nexford’s transfer ceiling of up to 90 credits. Nexford also offers a free, no-obligation transfer credit evaluation, and its policy allows transfer of up to 75% of an undergraduate program.
This course is a good option for students who want to bring an introductory business class into a Nexford degree plan and use it as a Business Elective. It may suit people who are working, returning to finish a degree, changing fields, or looking to make use of Nexford’s transfer policy, which allows up to 90 credits or 75% of an undergraduate program. It is not the right choice for someone who needs a course that will transfer as a specific major requirement at Nexford rather than as an elective.
Nexford University is DEAC-accredited and offers a free, no-obligation transfer credit evaluation. Its flexible policy lets you transfer up to 75% of an undergraduate program toward your degree.
Transfer credits are never guaranteed. Final credit awards are determined solely by the receiving university's registrar.
