🎯 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 Project Management for Pathways electives even though it's a business course?
Yes. UPI Study's agreement with Pathways College lists UPI Study's Project Management 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.
🔄 About transferring to Pathways

Do I need to enroll at Pathways first?
No. You can take UPI Study courses with no Pathways enrollment, no application, and no admission process. Take the course, earn the credit, then submit your transcript to Pathways when you're ready.
How does the transcript reach Pathways?
Once you complete Project Management, 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 Project Management for your Pathways credit.

What is Project Management?

Project Management is the study of how to plan, organize, and complete work with a clear goal, deadline, and budget. In this course, you learn how projects move from an initial idea and business case through planning, execution, monitoring, and closure. It also covers the tools and decisions that help teams keep work on track and handle risks, costs, and changes.

How the course teaches you

Project Management is a self-paced online course that combines video lessons with quizzes, an assignment, and a final exam. Quizzes count for 20% of the grade, the assignment for 30%, and the final exam for 50%, so the exam carries the most weight. When you complete the course, your UPI Study transcript shows the 3 credits, and Pathways College recognizes them as General Elective (Pathways).

How it helps beyond the classroom

The course covers how a project moves from an initial idea and business case through planning, execution, monitoring, and closure, along with methods for managing risk, cost, and change. Those skills apply to most jobs that involve deadlines, budgets, or coordinating other people. At Pathways, the 3 credits count toward total credit hours in either an Associate degree or a Bachelor of Arts, so the coursework contributes to a degree you are already pursuing.

Skills you walk away with

Taking this course toward Pathways

After you finish the course, UPI Study sends your transcript to Pathways College. The Pathways registrar then applies the credit as General Elective (Pathways), which counts toward your total credit hours and your elective requirements. Because this is an elective equivalency, it does not replace a required course in your degree plan, and you should confirm with a Pathways advisor where the credit lands in your program. Pathways accepts up to 90 transfer credits, or 75% of the total, so this course counts toward that limit.

Who this course is for

This course suits people who want to reduce the number of credits they pay Pathways for, including working adults, students closing out a degree, and those changing careers who want a structured introduction to project work. Because Pathways treats it as an elective, it fills open elective slots rather than a required course, and it counts within the 90-credit transfer ceiling (75% of a degree). It is not a good choice if you need a specific named course for your Pathways major or general education, or if you need live, scheduled instruction instead of self-paced study.
