Estimate at a full-time pace of 30 credits a year (about 2.5 credits a month); Newlane is self-paced, so your own pace sets the real number. Newlane's tuition is $1,500 per degree however many credits you transfer, so UPI Study credits save you time, not tuition.
Cybersecurity is the study of how to protect computers, networks, software, and data from unauthorized access, damage, and disruption. In this course, students learn the basic threats people and organizations face, such as malware, phishing, weak passwords, web attacks, and insecure systems, along with the methods used to reduce those risks.
Cybersecurity is a 3-credit online course with video-based instruction, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam weighted at 20% Quizzes, 30% Assignments, and 50% Final Exam. As you complete the course, the final transcript shows the credit earned, and Newlane University recognizes it as Elective credit. That means it can be recorded toward Newlane’s total credit hours and elective requirements, not as a direct major course.
The course covers practical protection of computers, networks, software, and data, which is useful in any setting where people handle sensitive information. At Newlane, the credit can support degree progress in programs such as the Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts or the Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy by filling elective space while you build a broader academic plan. It is especially helpful if you want transfer credit that counts within Newlane’s 90-credit maximum and helps you stay within the 75% transfer limit.
After you finish the course, the transcript is sent for review and Newlane University applies the credit as Elective. In Newlane’s competency-based model, that elective recognition can help you move forward in a degree plan by covering elective requirements and contributing to total credits earned. Because Newlane allows up to 90 transfer credits, or 75% of the degree, this course can be part of a larger transfer strategy without exceeding the limit. For students in programs like the Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts or Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy, it is a straightforward way to add recognized credit.
This course fits students who want a transferable elective while learning how cybersecurity threats and defenses work in real settings. It is a reasonable choice for degree-completion students, working adults, and students planning around Newlane’s 90-credit transfer ceiling or its 75% maximum transfer share. It is not the best fit if you need a Newlane course that applies as a specific major requirement rather than Elective credit.
Newlane University is DEAC-accredited and competency-based — you progress by demonstrating mastery. Tuition is a flat $1,500 per degree ($3,000 for a full bachelor's without an associate degree), and up to 75% of degree credit can come from transfer.
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), study at your own pace with no deadlines, and transfer 3 credits to Newlane University.
