Savings = credits × $136 (Nexford BBA total $16,320 ÷ 120 credits, US/Canada/China region, from Nexford University Catalog 2026). Nexford credit awards are subject to Nexford's transfer credit evaluation per its institutional policies. Rates may vary by region — Group 2 (Finland/Iceland) is $112/cr, Group 3 (Kenya/Egypt/Philippines/Thailand/Indonesia) $74/cr, Group 4 (Nigeria/Ghana) $64/cr.
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 self-paced online course built around video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam, with grading split as 25% Attendance, 25% Quizzes, 25% Assignments, and 25% Final Exam. When you finish, the transcript can be evaluated by Nexford University, where it is recognized as a Health Sciences Elective. That elective equivalency means the credit counts toward total hours and elective requirements in a Nexford program.
This course helps you read and use healthcare language more accurately, which is useful in jobs and everyday settings where medical terms appear in records, instructions, or conversations. At Nexford, the credit applies as a Health Sciences Elective, so it can support degree progress in programs such as the Associate of Applied Science or Bachelor of Business Administration by filling elective space. It is especially useful if you want a course that builds transferable terminology skills while also moving you closer to a degree plan.
After you complete the course, your transcript is sent for evaluation and Nexford University reviews it through its transfer process. Nexford's registrar applies the credit as Health Sciences Elective, which means it can satisfy elective space in the degree plan rather than a specific required course. That can help you make progress in an undergraduate program while staying within Nexford's transfer ceiling of up to 90 credits, or 75% of the program. Nexford is DEAC-accredited and offers a free, no-obligation transfer credit evaluation, so you can confirm how the credit fits before you enroll.
This course is a good fit for students planning to transfer to Nexford who want a Health Sciences Elective that can count toward elective requirements within the 75% transfer limit, up to 90 credits. It can also work for adult learners, students returning to finish a degree, or people changing fields who want one course that supports transfer planning and practical vocabulary skills. It is not the right choice if you need a major-specific course that must transfer as a direct required class rather than as an elective.
Nexford University is DEAC-accredited and offers a free, no-obligation transfer credit evaluation. Its flexible policy lets you transfer up to 75% of an undergraduate program toward your degree.
Transfer credits are never guaranteed. Final credit awards are determined solely by the receiving university's registrar.
