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 is completed online and at your own pace, with video-based lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam. The course grade is based on 20% quizzes, 30% assignments, and 50% the final exam, so the transcript reflects completed coursework that Nexford can review for transfer. When Nexford evaluates the transcript, this course is recognized as a Business Elective.
The course builds practical finance skills that are useful when you are planning budgets, comparing investments, or reading financial statements in a business setting. At Nexford, that learning can count as a Business Elective in programs such as the Associate of Applied Science or Bachelor of Business Administration, which can help keep your degree plan moving. It is also relevant if you want a broader business foundation without taking a major-specific finance requirement.
After you finish the course, the transcript is sent for Nexford's transfer review. Nexford University applies the course as a Business Elective, which means it counts toward total credit hours and elective requirements rather than a fixed major requirement. That can help you build out an Associate of Applied Science or Bachelor of Business Administration plan while staying within Nexford's ceiling of up to 90 transferable credits, or 75% of an undergraduate program. Nexford also offers a free, no-obligation transfer credit evaluation, so you can see how this course fits before you commit.
This course is a good fit for students who want to transfer into Nexford and use prior learning toward elective credit in an undergraduate program. It can work well for students who are finishing a degree, changing fields, or trying to stay within Nexford's transfer limit of up to 90 credits, because the course may apply as a Business Elective rather than a core major course. It is not the best choice if you need a course that is guaranteed to satisfy a specific required finance class in a Nexford degree plan.
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.
