🎯 About Technology Elective at Nexford
What does 'Elective credit' mean at Nexford University?
Elective credit fills the elective portion of a Nexford degree — credits required for graduation but not tied to a specific named course or general education category. Every Nexford 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 Nexford degree?
Nexford'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 Nexford's current academic catalog for the exact elective credit requirement.
Can I use Ethics in Technology for Nexford 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 Nexford, regardless of subject area. Nexford 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 Nexford?
Up to the overall 75% transfer cap (90 credits for the Bachelor's). Nexford 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 Nexford 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 Nexford 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 completed through a structured online format with video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam, and the grade is based on 25% Attendance, 25% Quizzes, 25% Assignments, and 25% Final Exam. When you finish and the transcript is sent for review, Nexford can recognize the 3 credits as Technology Elective, which means they can be applied as elective credit in an eligible degree plan.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The course builds practical understanding of privacy, security, data use, and emerging technologies, which can help you make better decisions in work settings where digital systems matter. At Nexford, that learning may count toward elective space in programs such as the Associate of Applied Science or Bachelor of Business Administration, so the credit can support progress without needing to fit a specific major requirement.

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 Nexford

After you complete the course, your transcript is sent for Nexford’s transfer credit evaluation. Nexford’s registrar applies the credit as Technology Elective if it fits the undergraduate program review, and that elective recognition means the course can help satisfy elective requirements rather than a specific major requirement. This can matter in degree plans for programs such as the Associate of Applied Science or Bachelor of Business Administration, where elective credit can help you move through the program. Nexford allows up to 90 transfer credits, which is 75% of an undergraduate program, so this course may be one part of a larger transfer plan.

Who this course is for

This course is a good fit for students who want to move credits into Nexford while keeping options open, especially if they are working toward an undergraduate program and need an elective rather than a major-specific course. It can also help students who are trying to stay within Nexford’s transfer limit of up to 90 credits, since the 3 credits may count as Technology Elective instead of being lost in review. It is not the best choice for someone who needs a direct course match for a required core class at Nexford.
