Yes — the course includes quizzes, assignments, and a final exam. Your grade is equally weighted: 25% Attendance · 25% Quizzes · 25% Assignments · 25% Final Exam.
How do I check if my university accepts UPI Study credits?
Check our Find My College directory . If your university recognizes NCCRS credit recommendations, UPI Study courses qualify. You can also book a free call with our team.
How does UPI Study compare to a traditional university course?
A traditional university course in this subject typically costs $500–$1,500+ per credit hour and requires fixed schedules, campus attendance, and semester timelines. UPI Study covers the same NCCRS-recommended content at $250 total , with no deadlines and no campus requirement.
Can international students take this course?
Yes. UPI Study courses carry an NCCRS recommendation — recognized by cooperating institutions in the U.S., Canada, the UK, and other countries. Students have submitted credits across 26+ countries.
🎯 About Mathematics at CSU
What is Mathematics at Columbia Southern University?
Mathematics is one of the general education categories required for CSU's degree programs. It covers coursework in the relevant academic domain — designed to give students broad foundational knowledge as part of a balanced degree. Students must complete a defined number of credits in this category as part of either the Associate or Bachelor's program.
Will Calculus 2 fulfill CSU's Mathematics requirement?
Yes. Under the published transfer agreement between UPI Study and Columbia Southern University, UPI Study's Calculus 2 (4 ACE & NCCRS Approved credits) is recognized as Mathematics credit. This appears on the CSU equivalency chart. The credit posts to your CSU transcript once UPI Study transmits the official transcript.
What other UPI Study courses also transfer as Mathematics at CSU?
Several UPI Study courses fulfill CSU's Mathematics bucket — including Business Math, Discrete Mathematics, and Quantitative Analysis. The complete current list of equivalencies is on the CSU equivalency chart.
How many Mathematics credits do I need for my CSU degree?
CSU's general education requirements vary between the Associate (60 credits total) and Bachelor's (120 credits total) degrees. Within those, students must complete a defined set of GE credits across multiple categories including Mathematics. CSU accepts up to 75% of total degree credits as transfer credit, so you can fill most of your Mathematics requirement with UPI Study courses. Check CSU's current academic catalog for exact category minimums.
If I've already filled my Mathematics requirement, can Calculus 2 still count?
Yes — if your Mathematics category is full, Calculus 2 can typically be applied as elective credit at CSU's discretion, as long as you have not exceeded the 75% (90-credit) transfer maximum for your Bachelor's. Contact CSU's registrar or your academic advisor to confirm placement before enrolling if you are close to the transfer cap.
🔄 About transferring to CSU
How many UPI Study courses can I stack toward my CSU degree?
Columbia Southern University accepts up to 75% of degree credit requirements as transfer credit — up to 90 credits for the bachelor's degree. 68 UPI Study courses are recognized by CSU through the official CSU transfer credit pathway, so you can stack a substantial portion of your degree before enrolling at CSU.

How does the transcript reach CSU?
Once you complete Calculus 2, UPI Study sends an official transcript in PDF format directly to the email address designated by Columbia Southern University. CSU's registrar applies the agreed equivalency (Mathematics) to your transcript. No third-party services are involved.
About this course

Understanding Calculus 2 for your CSU credit.

What is Calculus 2?

Calculus 2 is the next step after introductory calculus, focused on techniques for evaluating integrals and using them to solve more advanced problems. It also introduces sequences, infinite series, and power series, which are ways of representing and approximating functions. In practical terms, the course asks you to choose the right method for a problem and explain why it works.

How the course teaches you

Calculus 2 (Maths 265) is a 4-credit online course built around attendance, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam, weighted 25% each. The work moves from video-based instruction into problem solving, so you practice the integration methods, sequences, and series needed to show you understand not just the answer, but why the method fits the problem. When you complete the course, the transcripted credit is the one Columbia Southern University recognizes as Mathematics for general education.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The skills in this course are useful anywhere you need to evaluate change, compare options, or work through a multi-step problem with clear reasoning. At Columbia Southern University, that Mathematics general-education credit can support progress in programs such as the Associate of Science and Bachelor of Science, where general-education requirements must be completed alongside major coursework. It is especially helpful if you want a transfer credit that serves a defined degree requirement rather than an elective with limited use.

Skills you walk away with

Choose and apply integration methods such as substitution, parts, trigonometric integrals, and partial fractionsUse L'Hôpital's Rule and limit analysis to evaluate indeterminate formsTest improper integrals and determine convergenceFind areas between curves and volumes of solids of revolutionAnalyze sequences and infinite series for convergence or divergenceConstruct Taylor and Maclaurin series and estimate approximation errorWrite clear mathematical justifications using correct notation

Taking this course toward CSU

After you finish Calculus 2, the transcripted credit is sent for review and Columbia Southern University applies it according to its transfer policies. CSU recognizes this course as Mathematics, which means it satisfies a general-education requirement rather than simply adding an extra course to the record. That matters in degree planning because the credit can help move a student forward in CSU programs such as the Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science. Even so, CSU’s transfer ceiling remains 90 credits total, so this course should be counted as part of a larger transfer plan.

Who this course is for

This course is a good fit for students who are already planning to transfer to Columbia Southern University and want a Mathematics general-education equivalency that can count inside a degree plan. It may also suit students who need to use transfer space carefully, since CSU allows up to 90 credits, or 75%, to transfer. It is not the best choice for someone who only wants a light math requirement and does not need calculus-level work, because the course focuses on integration techniques, series, and proof-style justification.
