🎯 About PSY 2XX – Psychology Elective at Post
What does 'Elective credit' mean at Post University?
Elective credit fills the elective portion of a Post degree — credits required for graduation but not tied to a specific named course or general education category. Every Post 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 Post degree?
Post'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 Post's current academic catalog for the exact elective credit requirement.
Can I use Ethics in the Social Sciences for Post electives even though it's a social science course?
Yes. The Articulation Agreement explicitly recognizes UPI Study's Ethics in the Social Sciences as elective credit at Post, regardless of subject area. Post 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 Post?
Up to the overall 25% transfer cap (30 credits for the Bachelor's). Post 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 Post 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.
