About this course

Understanding Principles of Management for your SNHU 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 delivered through self-paced online study with video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam. The grading is split evenly across attendance, quizzes, assignments, and the final exam at 25% each, so students are expected to keep up with the course throughout. When the course is completed and the transcript is sent, Southern New Hampshire University can recognize it as OL215 – Principles of Management through its verified course-by-course equivalency.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The course builds practical understanding of how managers plan, organize, lead, and improve organizations, which is useful in day-to-day work and in team settings. At SNHU, that learning can fit into Associate Degree or Bachelor's Degree plans because the credit is tied to OL215 – Principles of Management rather than a general elective only. It gives students a clearer foundation for handling structure, change, and leadership expectations in a workplace context.

Skills you walk away with

Distinguish management from leadershipExplain classical management theories and their influenceApply Lewin’s and Kotter’s change modelsEvaluate mechanistic and organic organizational structuresSupport effective team development and conflict resolutionIdentify managerial roles and responsibilitiesAssess how structure aligns with strategy

Taking this course toward SNHU

After you finish the course, your transcript is sent for evaluation and SNHU reviews it on a course-by-course basis. If it matches the verified chart, the registrar applies it as OL215 – Principles of Management, which is a named course equivalency in the catalog. That matters because it places the credit directly into the degree plan instead of leaving it as an unspecified transfer course. SNHU allows up to 90 transfer credits, or 75% of a degree, so this course can count within that limit if it fits your program.

Who this course is for

This course is a good fit for students planning ahead for SNHU and looking for a named equivalency, since OL215 – Principles of Management is the specific course match SNHU verifies. It can also help students who want to stay within the 90-credit transfer ceiling while moving toward an Associate Degree or Bachelor's Degree. It is not the best choice for someone who needs a course with a signed partner arrangement, since SNHU accepts this credit on a course-by-course basis rather than through a partnership.
