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.
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 (Health 120) is a 3-credit self-paced online course with video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam. Your grade is based on 25% Attendance, 25% Quizzes, 25% Assignments, and 25% Final Exam, so steady progress matters. When you complete it and send the transcript to Post University, the credit is recognized there as an Open Elective.
This course helps you read and use healthcare language more accurately, which is useful in clinical settings, offices, and any role that works with patient records or medical documents. At Post, that credit sits as an Open Elective, so it can support degree progress in programs such as the Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science while helping you move through your plan without adding a course outside the elective category.
After you finish Medical Terminology, the transcript is sent to Post University for review. Post's registrar applies the credit as an Open Elective, which means it counts toward elective requirements and total credits in your degree plan rather than a specific major course. Because Post accepts transfer credit up to 30 credits or 25%, this course can be part of a broader transfer strategy for programs like the Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science. Post University is NECHE-accredited and accepts UPI Study's ACE and NCCRS-recommended courses for General Education transfer credit, with a 73% (C) or better required for transfer.
This is a practical option for students who want a health-related course that can transfer to Post as an Open Elective and still count toward total credit hours. It can fit well for students finishing a degree, changing fields, or building a course schedule with transfer limits in mind, since Post allows up to 30 credits, or 25%, to transfer. It is not the best choice for someone who needs a course that applies as a major requirement 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.
