About this course

Understanding Principles of Management for your UAG 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 as a self-paced online course with video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam, with grading split evenly across Attendance, Quizzes, Assignments, and the Final Exam at 25% each. When you finish and your transcript is sent, University of Arkansas Grantham can recognize the course as MGT150 – Principles of Management, a named course equivalency tied to a specific catalog course.

How it helps beyond the classroom

This course builds practical understanding of how managers plan, organize, lead, and improve organizations, which is useful in day-to-day work as well as longer-term career planning. At University of Arkansas Grantham, that credit can support degree progress in programs such as the Associate of Applied Science and the Bachelor of Business Administration, where MGT150 – Principles of Management may fit into the business side of the plan.

Taking this course toward UAG

After you complete the course, your transcript is sent for review and University of Arkansas Grantham applies it course-by-course if it matches the equivalent coursework and the grade requirement is met. In that review, the registrar can post the credit as MGT150 – Principles of Management, which gives you a specific place for it in your UAG degree plan rather than an unspecified elective. That matters because UAG accepts up to 90 transfer credits, or 75% of a degree, so this course can help fill required business coursework while leaving room for the rest of your program. For students in programs like the Associate of Applied Science or Bachelor of Business Administration, the named equivalency makes it easier to see how the course supports the major.

Who this course is for

This is a good option for students who want a clear, transferable management course before applying credit to University of Arkansas Grantham, especially if they are working toward the 90-credit transfer limit. It can also help students who need a named equivalency, since UAG awards credit course-by-course and recognizes this course as MGT150 – Principles of Management with a grade of C or better. It is not the best fit for someone who needs guaranteed transfer without checking the rest of their degree plan, because credit still has to be applied within UAG's policies.
