About this course

Understanding Principles of Management for your Post 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 is a self-paced online course built around video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam. Its grade is based on 25% Attendance, 25% Quizzes, 25% Assignments, and 25% Final Exam, and when you complete it and the transcript is sent, Post recognizes the course as MGT 105 – Principles of Management, a named course equivalency.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The course gives you a practical base for understanding how organizations are planned, organized, led, and improved, which is useful whether you are moving into a first management role or returning to school while working. At Post, the credit can support degree progress in programs such as the Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science, where MGT 105 – Principles of Management may fit into the broader plan.

Skills you walk away with

Taking this course toward Post

After you finish the course, your transcript is sent and Post University's registrar applies the credit as MGT 105 – Principles of Management. Because this is a named course equivalency, it maps directly to a specific catalog course at Post rather than being left as an unspecified transfer credit. That can make it easier to see where the course fits in your degree plan, especially in programs like the Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science. Post accepts transfer credit up to 30 credits, so this course should be considered within that overall ceiling and alongside the 73% (C) minimum grade requirement.

Who this course is for

This is a good fit for students who want a clear management course to transfer to Post and need a named equivalency rather than a general elective. It can work well for people trying to stay within Post's transfer limit of up to 30 credits, especially if they are building toward an Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science. It is not the best choice for someone who needs a course with a different subject area or who cannot meet Post's 73% (C) grade requirement.
