🎯 About Business 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 Globalization and International Management for Nexford electives even though it's a business course?
Yes. The Articulation Agreement explicitly recognizes UPI Study's Globalization and International Management 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 Globalization and International Management for your Nexford credit.

What is Globalization and International Management?

Globalization and International Management looks at how businesses operate across countries and why managing them is different from managing a company that only works in one market. It covers topics like global competition, international strategy, culture, trade rules, outsourcing, and how managers lead teams made up of people from different backgrounds and locations.

How the course teaches you

This course is structured around attendance, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam, with each part weighted at 25%. When you finish and your transcript is reviewed, Nexford University can recognize the course as a Business Elective, so the credit counts toward total credit hours and elective requirements in a Nexford degree plan.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The course builds practical understanding of global competition, international strategy, culture, trade rules, outsourcing, and leading diverse teams, which can help in workplaces that operate across borders. At Nexford, that learning can sit inside programs such as the Associate of Applied Science or the Bachelor of Business Administration as Business Elective credit, giving you flexibility while you work toward degree completion.

Skills you walk away with

Taking this course toward Nexford

After you complete the course, your transcript is sent for review so Nexford University can evaluate it through its transfer process. When accepted, the registrar applies it as a Business Elective, which means it supports elective requirements and contributes to the credit total in your Nexford degree plan. That matters because Nexford allows up to 90 transfer credits, or 75% of an undergraduate program, and its free transfer credit evaluation can show how this course fits before you enroll. For students in programs like the Associate of Applied Science or Bachelor of Business Administration, this can help reduce the amount of coursework still needed at Nexford.

Who this course is for

This course is a good fit for students who want to bring prior learning into a Nexford program and need credit that can apply as a Business Elective. It is especially useful for working adults, transfer students, and career changers who are planning around Nexford's transfer rules, including the limit of up to 90 credits or 75% of an undergraduate program. It is not the best choice if you need a course that maps to a specific required major course rather than an elective.
