🎯 About General Elective (Pathways) at Pathways
What does 'Elective credit' mean at Pathways College?
Elective credit fills the elective portion of a Pathways degree — credits required for graduation but not tied to a specific named course or general education category. Every Pathways 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 Pathways degree?
Pathways'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 Pathways's current academic catalog for the exact elective credit requirement.
Can I use Leading Organizational Change for Pathways electives even though it's a business course?
Yes. UPI Study's agreement with Pathways College lists UPI Study's Leading Organizational Change as General Elective (Pathways) at Pathways, whatever its subject area. The credit posts to your Pathways transcript once UPI Study sends the official transcript.
How many UPI Study courses can I stack as electives at Pathways?
Up to the overall 75% transfer cap (90 credits for the Bachelor's). Pathways 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 Pathways 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.

Once you complete Leading Organizational Change, UPI Study sends an official transcript in PDF format directly to the email address designated by Pathways College. Pathways's registrar applies the agreed equivalency (General Elective (Pathways)) to your transcript. No third-party services are involved.
About this course

Understanding Leading Organizational Change for your Pathways credit.

What is Leading Organizational Change?

Leading Organizational Change is the study of how leaders guide people, teams, and whole organizations through change. It looks at why change happens, how leadership styles affect the process, and how structures, communication, and power shape what people do when a business is trying to move in a new direction.

How the course teaches you

The course is self-paced and online, with video lessons, quizzes, an assignment, and a final exam. Grades are weighted 20% quizzes, 30% assignment, and 50% final exam, so the exam carries the most weight. Once you complete it, the 3-credit course appears on your transcript, and Pathways College recognizes it as General Elective (Pathways).

How it helps beyond the classroom

The course focuses on the difference between managing and leading, and on how leaders guide teams and whole organizations through a change in direction. Those skills apply to supervisors, team leads, and anyone asked to help with a reorganization or new initiative. At Pathways, the 3 credits fill elective space in programs such as the Associate degree or Bachelor of Arts, so the work can count toward a degree while you apply what you learn on the job.

Skills you walk away with

Taking this course toward Pathways

After you finish the course, your transcript is sent to Pathways College, and the Pathways registrar applies General Elective (Pathways) to your record. This means the 3 credits count toward your total credit hours and elective requirements in your degree plan. Pathways allows up to 90 credits (75%) to transfer, so include this course in that total when you plan your remaining credits. Pathways College is an active transfer partner of UPI Study.

Who this course is for

This course suits people who already work in or near organizations and want a transferable credit that moves them toward a Pathways degree. It is a good fit for students with open elective slots, because at Pathways it counts toward total credit hours and elective requirements but is not recognized as a named major or general education course. If you need a credit to satisfy a specific major or general education requirement, this course will not do that at Pathways. Keep in mind that all transfer credit, including this course, counts toward the 90-credit (75%) limit.
