About this course

Understanding Principles of Management for your Nexford credit.

What is Principles of Management?

Principles of Management is the study of how organizations are planned, organized, led, and improved. It introduces the work managers do, the difference between management and leadership, and the main ideas that have shaped modern business practice. Students also learn how teams, structure, and change affect how an organization performs.

How the course teaches you

Principles of Management (Business 101) is a 3-credit course built around attendance, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam, each worth 25% of the grade. The course covers how organizations are planned, organized, led, and improved, including management versus leadership, management theory, organizational structure, change, and team dynamics. When you complete it and your transcript is reviewed, Nexford University recognizes the credit as BUS2200 – Principles of Management, a named course equivalency.

How it helps beyond the classroom

This course gives you a practical base for understanding how teams, structures, and change affect performance, which is useful in day-to-day work as well as long-term career planning.
