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.
Medical Terminology is the study of the words used in healthcare to describe the body, diseases, procedures, tests, and treatments. It focuses on how medical terms are built from prefixes, suffixes, and root words, so you can understand what a term means even if you have never seen it before. The course also introduces common abbreviations and the language used across major body systems.
Medical Terminology is a 3-credit course with video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam, and the grade breakdown is 25% Attendance, 25% Quizzes, 25% Assignments, and 25% Final Exam. As you complete the course, the transcript records the credit, and Newlane recognizes it as an Elective, so it can apply toward total credit hours and elective requirements in a Newlane degree plan.
The course gives you a practical vocabulary for reading healthcare language, which can help when you encounter medical terms in everyday settings or workplace documents. At Newlane, that credit sits as an Elective in programs such as the Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts and the Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy, where it can support degree completion without being tied to a major-specific requirement.
After you finish the course, the transcript is sent for transfer review and Newlane's registrar applies it as an Elective. That means the credit counts toward Newlane's elective requirements and overall degree hours, rather than replacing a program-specific course. Newlane allows up to 90 transfer credits, which is 75% of the degree, so this course can help you move closer to completion within that limit. For students in programs like the Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts or the Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy, it can be a straightforward way to add accepted credit without affecting the rest of the plan.
This course is a good fit if you want to move credits toward Newlane while building a useful healthcare vocabulary, especially if you are trying to finish a degree efficiently within Newlane's transfer rules. It may also suit students who want an elective that still has clear real-world value. It is not the best choice if you need a course that satisfies a specific major requirement rather than an Elective, since Newlane applies it in that category.
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.
