About this course

Understanding Principles of Management for your UMT 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

The course is self-paced and online. You work through video lessons on your own schedule, then complete quizzes, assignments, and a final exam, with grading split evenly across attendance, quizzes, assignments, and the final exam (25% each). Once you finish, the transcript credit is what UMT evaluates and recognizes as MGT 300 – Principles of Management.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The course covers the difference between managing and leading, how structure and change affect performance, and how to motivate teams and resolve conflict. Those skills apply directly to supervisory and team roles at most workplaces. At UMT, the credit lands in business degree plans such as the Associate of Business Administration and the Bachelor of Business Administration, and your advisor can confirm where MGT 300 fits your specific plan.

Skills you walk away with

Distinguish management from leadershipExplain classical management theories and their influenceApply Lewin’s and Kotter’s change modelsEvaluate mechanistic and organic organizational structuresSupport effective team development and conflict resolutionIdentify managerial roles and responsibilitiesAssess how structure aligns with strategy

Taking this course toward UMT

After you finish the course, your transcript is sent to UMT. UMT's registrar applies the credit as MGT 300 – Principles of Management, a named course equivalency that maps to a specific catalog code, which is the strongest form of transfer recognition UMT offers. Before posting, UMT's Office of Academic Affairs reviews the credit against UMT course outcomes, with faculty or subject-matter experts involved. Up to 90 credits (75%) may transfer to UMT in total, so this 3-credit course counts toward that ceiling.

Who this course is for

This course suits working adults who already manage tasks or people and want the concepts formalized, degree-finishers who need a few remaining business credits, and career changers building a business foundation before enrolling at UMT. It is also a sensible choice for cost-conscious students, since each credit that transfers avoids UMT's $390 per-credit rate, and the named MGT 300 equivalency gives it a clear place in the catalog. It is not a good fit if you need a live, instructor-led class with fixed meeting times, or if you have already used most of the 90-credit transfer allowance and need those remaining credits for other coursework.
