Savings estimate compares Post University's $629/credit online undergraduate rate against UPI Study course pricing. Post requires a 73% grade to accept a UPI course; UPI credit applies to General Education requirements only (not Major, Core, Concentration, or Minor). Maximum UPI transfer: 15 credits into an associate's, 30 into a bachelor's. Final credit awards are determined solely by Post University's registrar.
Cybersecurity is the study of how to protect computers, networks, software, and data from unauthorized access, damage, and disruption. In this course, students learn the basic threats people and organizations face, such as malware, phishing, weak passwords, web attacks, and insecure systems, along with the methods used to reduce those risks.
Cybersecurity is completed as a self-paced online course with video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam, weighted 20% Quizzes, 30% Assignments, and 50% Final Exam. When you finish and the transcript is sent to Post University, the course is reviewed for transfer as CIS 1XX – CIS Elective, which Post applies as elective credit rather than a direct major course.
The course builds practical knowledge about protecting data, systems, and networks, which can help in workplaces that rely on secure information handling. At Post, that learning can sit inside degree paths such as the Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science as CIS 1XX – CIS Elective, giving you credit that supports overall progress toward the program.
After you complete the course, your transcript is sent to Post University for review. Post's registrar applies the credit as CIS 1XX – CIS Elective, which means it counts toward total credit hours and elective requirements in a Post degree plan, including programs such as the Associate of Science and Bachelor of Science. Because Post accepts up to 30 transfer credits, this course can help, but it will only move forward if your grade is 73% (C) or higher. Post University is NECHE-accredited and accepts UPI Study's ACE & NCCRS-recommended courses for General Education transfer credit.
This course is a fit for students planning ahead for Post University who want a flexible way to earn elective credit while learning cybersecurity basics. It may suit degree-finishers, working adults, or students watching transfer value, especially since Post accepts the course as CIS 1XX – CIS Elective only if the grade is 73% (C) or better and transfer is still within the 30-credit limit. It is not the best choice if you need a direct equivalent to a specific required Post course rather than an elective.
Post University is NECHE-accredited and accepts UPI Study's ACE & NCCRS-recommended courses for General Education transfer credit. A 73% (C) grade or better is required for a course to transfer.
Transfer credits are never guaranteed. Final credit awards are determined solely by the receiving university's registrar.
Enroll for $250 (or use a UPI Study subscription), finish in 28–30 days, and transfer 3 credits to Post University.
