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 a 3-credit self-paced online course built around video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam. The grade is based on 20% quizzes, 30% assignments, and 50% the final exam, so students are expected to show steady progress as they work through the material. When the course is completed and the transcript is issued, SNHU recognizes it as FIN320 – Principles of Finance through a verified course-by-course equivalency.
The course helps students build practical finance skills used in business decision-making, from reading financial statements to evaluating investments and understanding risk and return. At SNHU, that credit lands as FIN320 – Principles of Finance, which can support degree planning in programs such as an Associate Degree or a Bachelor's Degree. For students moving through an SNHU plan, it can satisfy a named finance requirement rather than remaining an elective-only course.
After you finish the course, the transcript is sent for review and SNHU applies the verified course-by-course equivalency as FIN320 – Principles of Finance. Because this is a named course equivalency, it maps to a specific SNHU catalog course rather than a general elective, which can help with degree planning in Associate Degree and Bachelor's Degree programs. SNHU accepts up to 90 transfer credits, or 75% of a degree, so this course can count within that ceiling if the rest of the plan also fits SNHU's transfer rules. The final decision is made by SNHU's registrar/evaluation process using the approved chart.
This course is a good fit for students who want a clear finance requirement recognized by SNHU as FIN320 – Principles of Finance and who are working within SNHU's transfer limits of up to 90 credits. It is often useful for adults finishing a degree, students changing direction, or anyone trying to keep transfer work aligned with a specific SNHU course code. It is not the best choice for someone who needs a broad, non-specific transfer option or who is not planning to use a course-by-course equivalency at SNHU.
Southern New Hampshire University accepts UPI Study courses for transfer credit on a course-by-course basis. These equivalencies are verified from SNHU's evaluation chart.
This is a verified course equivalency, not a formal partnership. Transfer credits are never guaranteed and are determined solely by the university's registrar.
