Savings estimate compares Post University's $629/credit online undergraduate rate against UPI Study course pricing. Post requires a 73% grade to accept a UPI course; UPI credit applies to General Education requirements only (not Major, Core, Concentration, or Minor). Maximum UPI transfer: 15 credits into an associate's, 30 into a bachelor's. Final credit awards are determined solely by Post University's registrar.
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 completed online at your own pace through video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam. The grading breakdown is 20% quizzes, 30% assignments, and 50% final exam, so the final assessment carries the most weight. When you finish and your transcript is issued, Post University can recognize the course as FIN 201 – Principles of Finance, a named course equivalency in the catalog.
The course builds practical skills in reading financial statements, comparing present and future value, and weighing risk against return, which are useful in everyday financial decisions and in business settings. At Post, 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 Post is NECHE-accredited and uses named equivalencies, the credit has a clear place in a Post degree pathway when it applies.
After you complete the course, your transcript is sent for review and Post University applies it as FIN 201 – Principles of Finance when the course meets the transfer requirement. Because this is a named course equivalency, it maps directly to a specific Post catalog course rather than appearing only as general elective credit. That can help it fit more cleanly into your degree plan for an Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science program. Even so, the total transfer ceiling at Post is 30 credits, or 25%, so this course should be considered within that overall limit.
This course is a good fit if you are planning to transfer to Post and want a finance course that has a specific match: FIN 201 – Principles of Finance. It may also suit students who need to manage credit carefully, since Post allows up to 30 credits, or 25%, to transfer and requires a 73% (C) grade or better. It is not the best choice if you need a course with guaranteed transfer beyond those limits or if you are not aiming for a program where this finance equivalency is useful.
Post University is NECHE-accredited and accepts UPI Study's ACE & NCCRS-recommended courses for General Education transfer credit. A 73% (C) grade or better is required for a course to transfer.
Transfer credits are never guaranteed. Final credit awards are determined solely by the receiving university's registrar.
