Savings = semester credits × $518: Strayer's $1,555 undergraduate tuition per course (strayer.edu, 13 Oct 2026) divided by the 3 semester hours one Strayer course equals. Strayer makes the final credit award.
Financial Management is the study of how organizations plan, use, and protect money. It covers how businesses read financial statements, decide whether an investment is worth making, choose between financing options, and manage risk so they can meet their goals. The course also introduces the financial system around the business, including markets, institutions, and the role of the financial manager.
Financial Management is a self-paced online course built around video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam. Each of those four parts carries equal weight: 25% Attendance, 25% Quizzes, 25% Assignments, and 25% Final Exam. Once you complete the course with a grade of C or higher, the resulting transcript credit is what Strayer recognizes as FIN100 – Principles of Finance.
Reading financial statements, running ratio and cash flow analysis, and comparing financing options are skills that show up in household budgeting, small business decisions, and many management roles. At Strayer, the credit lands as FIN100 – Principles of Finance, which can be applied within programs such as the Associate in Arts or the Bachelor's degree. The work you do in this course therefore moves a degree plan forward at the same time it builds practical skills.
After you finish the course, your transcript is sent to Strayer, where the registrar reviews it and applies the credit as FIN100 – Principles of Finance. This is a named equivalency that maps to a specific catalog course code, which is the strongest form of transfer recognition available, so the credit fills a defined place in your degree plan. Strayer accepts up to 126 quarter hours (70%) of transfer credit toward a bachelor's degree, so it is worth tracking how much transfer credit you have already used before you plan additional coursework.
This course suits adults who are returning to finish a Strayer degree and want to reduce the number of courses they still need to take, as well as people changing careers who need a working finance foundation. Because the equivalency is a named course, FIN100 – Principles of Finance, you can plan around that specific course code when mapping your Strayer degree. It is a weaker choice if you cannot meet the C-or-higher standard, or if you need credit that counts outside the 126-quarter-hour transfer limit.
Strayer University signed an articulation agreement with UPI Study (effective 15 June 2025). Its 2026-2027 catalog accepts credit reviewed by ACE and NCCRS, with a grade of C or higher, up to 126 quarter hours toward a bachelor's degree.
Transfer credits are never guaranteed. Strayer determines, in its sole discretion, which credits qualify under the agreement and its transfer credit policies.
