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 taken online at your own pace through video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam, with grading based on 20% quizzes, 30% assignments, and 50% final exam. When you complete the course and your transcript is sent to Thomas Edison State University, TESU recognizes it as FIN-2000 – Principles of Finance, a named course equivalency that maps directly to a specific catalog course.
The skills in this course help you read financial statements, compare investment options, and understand risk, return, and capital decisions in everyday business settings. At Thomas Edison State University, that credit can support degree progress in programs such as the Associate of Arts or Bachelor of Arts, where FIN-2000 – Principles of Finance fits as a recognized course rather than an unspecified elective.
After you finish the course, your transcript is sent to Thomas Edison State University for review. TESU applies the named equivalency FIN-2000 – Principles of Finance, which gives you a specific place in the degree plan instead of leaving the course as an undefined transfer. Because TESU accepts up to 90 transfer credits, this course can be part of a larger transfer strategy for an Associate of Arts or Bachelor of Arts. TESU's transfer policy is flexible, and the FIN-2000 match helps the credit count in a way that is easy to track.
This course is a good fit for students planning to use a clear TESU equivalency, especially those who want FIN-2000 – Principles of Finance to apply cleanly toward a Thomas Edison State University degree. It can be useful for adults finishing a degree, students moving from another institution, or anyone who wants to stay within TESU's transfer structure, which allows up to 90 credits to transfer. It is not the best choice if you need a course with a different business focus or if you are not pursuing TESU credit.
Thomas Edison State University has one of the most flexible transfer policies in the country and accepts ACE & NCCRS credit recommendations. With a four-year institution's credits, you can fulfill all degree requirements except two required TESU courses.
Transfer credits are never guaranteed. Final credit awards are determined solely by the receiving university's registrar.
