Savings estimate uses Gracelyn University's $88.80/credit undergraduate tuition (2026-2027 catalog; $44 with Gracelyn's institutional scholarship). Gracelyn accepts up to 60 transfer credits into a bachelor's and 30 into an associate degree, for courses with a C- or better that fit the program. Final credit awards are determined by Gracelyn University.
Principles of Philosophy introduces the basic questions philosophers ask about knowledge, reality, morality, religion, and human freedom. It also shows how to read arguments carefully, spot weak reasoning, and compare different ways of thinking about the same issue. In a course like this, you study both classic ideas and the methods used to examine them.
The course is self-paced and online, built around video lessons, quizzes, a written assignment, and a final exam. Quizzes count for 20% of the grade, assignments for 30%, and the final exam for 50%, so the exam carries the most weight. Once you complete the course with a passing grade, the resulting transcript entry is what Gracelyn evaluates, and Gracelyn recognizes it as PHIL 1304 – Introduction to World Religions.
The course trains you to read an argument closely, locate its assumptions, and judge whether its conclusion follows. Those habits carry into case-based work, policy discussions, and ethical decisions that come up in any workplace. At Gracelyn, the credit counts toward programs such as the Associate of Science in Transformational Education (ATED) and the Bachelor of Science in Transformational Education (BTED), provided it fits the program requirements you are pursuing.
After you finish the course, your transcript goes to Gracelyn, and Gracelyn applies the credit as PHIL 1304 – Introduction to World Religions. Because this is a named equivalency, the credit appears under a specific course code in Gracelyn's catalog, which makes it easier to check against your degree plan. Transfer credit requires a grade of C- or better and must fit your program. Gracelyn accepts up to 60 transfer credits in total, so plan any other transfer work with that ceiling in mind.
This route suits people who want to finish a Gracelyn credential while keeping costs down, including working adults, students returning to finish a degree, and people changing careers. Because the course maps to a named equivalency, PHIL 1304 – Introduction to World Religions, you can plan around a specific catalog course rather than a general elective. Transfer is capped at 60 credits, which is 50% of a degree, so the course works best as one part of a larger plan. It is not a good fit if you need a philosophy major credit or a course that is not on Gracelyn's equivalency list.
Gracelyn University is DEAC-accredited and names the Gracelyn course for each UPI Study course on its list, pathway by pathway. Transfer credit needs the equivalent of a C- or better and must fit the program.
Transfer credits are never guaranteed. Final credit awards are determined solely by the receiving university's registrar.
Enroll for $250 (or use a UPI Study subscription), finish in 28–30 days, and transfer 3 credits to Gracelyn University.
