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.
Software Engineering is the study of how software is planned, built, tested, and maintained in an organized way. It covers the methods used to turn a problem or set of requirements into a working program, including how teams gather needs, design the system, choose a development process, and check that the result works as intended.
Software Engineering is a 3-credit course with video-based instruction, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam. The grading is 20% quizzes, 30% assignment, and 50% final exam, so students are assessed on both ongoing work and final mastery. When the course is completed, the transcripted credit can be sent to Newlane University, where it is recognized as Elective.
The course builds practical habits for planning, testing, and maintaining software, which can help students understand how digital systems are put together in work and daily life. At Newlane, this credit fits as an Elective, so it can support degree progress in programs such as the Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts or the Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy. That makes it useful when you need credit that contributes to total hours without being tied to a single major requirement.
After you finish the course, the transcript can be sent to Newlane University for review. Newlane’s registrar applies it as Elective, which means it counts toward your total credit hours and elective requirements in your degree plan. Because Newlane allows up to 90 transfer credits, this course can help you move closer to completion while staying within the 75% transfer limit. That can be especially useful in programs such as the Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts or the Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy, where elective credit still supports degree progress.
This course is a good fit for students who want a transferable elective while moving toward a Newlane degree and who can use a flexible 3-credit option within the 90-credit transfer ceiling. It may suit working adults, students finishing a degree, or people changing direction who want credit that Newlane applies as Elective rather than a specialized major course. It is not the best choice if you need a course that transfers as a specific major requirement at Newlane.
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), finish in 28–30 days, and transfer 3 credits to Newlane University.
