🎯 About Elective at Newlane
What does 'Elective credit' mean at Newlane University?
Elective credit fills the elective portion of a Newlane degree — credits required for graduation but not tied to a specific named course or general education category. Every Newlane degree program reserves a portion of total credits for electives, which gives students flexibility to round out their program.
How many elective credits do I need for my Newlane degree?
Newlane's degree programs each define an elective credit minimum within the total (60 credits for the Associate, 120 for the Bachelor's). The specific count varies by program. Check Newlane's current academic catalog for the exact elective credit requirement.
Can I use Ethics in Technology for Newlane electives even though it's a computer science course?
Yes. The Articulation Agreement explicitly recognizes UPI Study's Ethics in Technology as elective credit at Newlane, regardless of subject area. Newlane accepts transfer credit across disciplines as long as the credit comes from an approved provider with NCCRS or ACE recommendations.
How many UPI Study courses can I stack as electives at Newlane?
Up to the overall 75% transfer cap (90 credits for the Bachelor's). Newlane doesn't impose a separate elective cap beyond that, so you can stack multiple UPI Study elective courses as long as they fit within total transfer maximum and your program's elective requirement.
Is elective credit 'worth less' than named course credit?
No — credit is credit toward your Newlane degree. Elective credits count fully toward the 60-credit Associate or 120-credit Bachelor's total. The only difference is they fill the 'elective' bucket on your transcript rather than a specific named course. They have the same weight in graduation requirements.

About this course

Understanding Ethics in Technology for your Newlane credit.

What is Ethics in Technology?

Ethics in Technology looks at how computers, data, networks, and digital systems affect people, businesses, and society. It covers both the technical side of cybersecurity and the ethical and legal questions that come with privacy, cybercrime, data use, and emerging technologies like AI and IoT.

How the course teaches you

Ethics in Technology is a 3-credit course with a 25% Attendance, 25% Quizzes, 25% Assignments, and 25% Final Exam grading structure. The course content is delivered through structured instruction on cybersecurity, privacy, cybercrime, data use, and emerging technologies, so you complete the work and earn transcript credit that Newlane recognizes as Elective. At Newlane, that Elective credit can be applied toward total credit hours and elective requirements in degree plans such as the Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts or the Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The course helps you understand how digital systems affect privacy, security, and ethical decision-making, which is useful in work settings and in everyday use of technology. At Newlane, that learning can still move you forward because the credit is accepted as Elective, supporting degree progress in programs like the Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts and the Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy. Since Newlane is competency-based, this transfer credit can reduce the amount of new coursework you need to complete.

Skills you walk away with

Explain the CIA Triad and basic cybersecurity conceptsIdentify privacy, cybercrime, and digital rights issuesAnalyze data mining and Big Data ethicsEvaluate network security, firewalls, VPNs, and encryption methodsRecognize malware, phishing, and social engineering tacticsAssess database and cloud security risksApply legal and ethical reasoning to technology use

Taking this course toward Newlane

After you complete the course, the transcript is sent to Newlane for review. Newlane’s registrar applies the credit as Elective, which means it counts toward your total credits and elective requirements, but it does not replace a major-specific course in the degree plan. That can still be useful in Newlane programs such as the Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts or the Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy, where elective space can help you stay on track. Newlane allows up to 90 transfer credits, which is 75% of the degree, so this course can be one part of a larger transfer strategy.

Who this course is for

This course is a practical option for students who want to bring a 3-credit technology and ethics course into Newlane without losing time on a requirement that will count as Elective. It can fit well for students planning to use transfer credit within Newlane’s limit of up to 90 credits, especially if they are trying to stay within the 75% transfer maximum. It is not the best choice if you need a course that transfers as a major-specific requirement rather than an elective.
