About this course

Understanding Principles of Marketing for your UMT credit.

What is Principles of Marketing?

Principles of Marketing is the study of how businesses understand customer needs and turn that understanding into products, pricing, promotion, and distribution decisions. It covers how markets are segmented, how buyers make decisions, how organizations buy, and how outside factors such as law, ethics, global markets, and technology affect marketing choices.

How the course teaches you

Principles of Marketing is a self-paced online course built on video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam. Grades are weighted 20% quizzes, 30% assignments, and 50% final exam, so the final exam carries the most weight in the outcome. Completing the course produces the transcript credit that UMT recognizes as MKT 100 – Principles of Marketing.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The course teaches how businesses research customer needs, segment markets, and make pricing, promotion, and distribution decisions, along with the basics of competitive advantage and AI-driven analytics. These skills apply directly in sales, product, and business operations roles. At UMT, the credit counts toward programs such as the Associate of Business Administration and the Bachelor of Business Administration, so the same learning contributes to a degree while it builds job-relevant knowledge.

Skills you walk away with

Segmenting and targeting customer groupsApplying the 4 P's to marketing decisionsAnalyzing buyer behavior and the exchange processEvaluating ethical and CSR issues in marketingComparing domestic and global marketing strategiesUsing market research methods to inform decisionsUsing AI tools for customer personalization and predictive analysis

Taking this course toward UMT

After you finish the course, your transcript is sent to UMT, where the Office of Academic Affairs evaluates it against UMT course outcomes with review by faculty or subject-matter experts. UMT's registrar then applies the credit as MKT 100 – Principles of Marketing. This named equivalency means the course fills a specific course code in your degree plan, not an unspecified elective slot. Total transfer credit at UMT is limited to 90 credits (75%), so confirm how this course fits within that limit before you enroll.

Who this course is for

This course suits students who want to earn UMT credit at a lower cost than sitting in a classroom, including working adults fitting coursework around jobs and degree-finishers who need one more business course. Because UMT recognizes it as a named equivalency to MKT 100 – Principles of Marketing, you can plan around a specific catalog course rather than a general elective. Students who need the structure of a set class schedule or live instruction will likely find self-paced study harder to sustain. If you are near the transfer ceiling, check your total first, since UMT accepts up to 90 credits (75%) in transfer.
