About this course

Understanding Financial Management for your TESU credit.

What is Financial Management?

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.

How the course teaches you

This self-paced online course uses video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam, with grading split as 25% Attendance, 25% Quizzes, 25% Assignments, and 25% Final Exam. When you complete it, the transcript credit is the one TESU recognizes as FIN-3310 – Financial Institutions and Markets, a named course equivalency.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The course builds practical skills in reading financial statements, comparing financing options, and evaluating investment risk, which can help in day-to-day decisions at work and in planning for larger goals. At TESU, that credit can fit into degree planning for programs such as the Associate of Arts or Bachelor of Arts, where a named equivalency like FIN-3310 – Financial Institutions and Markets can support progress toward the degree.

Skills you walk away with

Interpret financial statements and cash flowsUse financial ratios and the DuPont modelApply time value of money and NPV calculationsValue bonds and stocksEvaluate investment projects and real optionsAssess risk with CAPM and capital structure analysisBuild budgets and financial forecasts

Taking this course toward TESU

After you finish, the transcript is sent for TESU review, and TESU's registrar applies the credit as FIN-3310 – Financial Institutions and Markets. Because this is a named course equivalency, it has a specific place in the TESU catalog and can be used more directly in degree planning than an unspecified elective. TESU accepts up to 90 transfer credits, so this course can be part of a larger transfer strategy within programs such as the Associate of Arts or Bachelor of Arts. As with any transfer, the final fit depends on how the credit applies within the student's TESU program requirements.

Who this course is for

This course is a good fit for students who want a TESU transfer course with a clear named recognition rather than a vague elective, especially if they are working toward the transfer ceiling of 90 credits. It is also useful for students who need finance content that maps to FIN-3310 – Financial Institutions and Markets in a TESU degree plan. It is not the best choice for someone who needs a course that is already part of a completed TESU degree plan and does not need transfer credit.
