What is Principles of Finance?

The course also introduces the basic tools used to compare future and present value, risk, and return.

How the course teaches you

Principles of Finance is delivered as a self-paced online course with video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam. The grade is based on 20% quizzes, 30% assignments, and 50% the final exam, so you build understanding step by step before the final assessment. When you finish, the transcript can be sent to University of Arkansas Grantham, where the course is recognized as FIN307 – Principles of Finance.

Taking this course toward UAG

After you complete the course, your transcript is sent for review and University of Arkansas Grantham applies the credit course-by-course. Because this is a named equivalency, UAG recognizes it as FIN307 – Principles of Finance rather than leaving it as an unspecified elective. That matters in degree planning because it can satisfy the matching finance requirement in a UAG program such as the Bachelor of Business Administration. UAG accepts up to 90 transfer credits, so this course can be part of a larger transfer plan as long as the rest of your credits fit within that limit and meet the grade requirement of C or better.

Who this course is for

This course is a good fit if you are working toward University of Arkansas Grantham and want a course that transfers as a named equivalency, not just general elective credit.
