Are there exams? How is grading done?
Yes — the course includes quizzes, assignments, and a final exam. Your grade is equally weighted: 25% Attendance · 25% Quizzes · 25% Assignments · 25% Final Exam.
How do I check if my university accepts UPI Study credits?
Check our Find My College directory . If your university recognizes NCCRS credit recommendations, UPI Study courses qualify. You can also book a free call with our team.
How does UPI Study compare to a traditional university course?
A traditional university course in this subject typically costs $500–$1,500+ per credit hour and requires fixed schedules, campus attendance, and semester timelines. UPI Study covers the same NCCRS-recommended content at $250 total , with no deadlines and no campus requirement.
Can international students take this course?
Yes. UPI Study courses carry an NCCRS recommendation — recognized by cooperating institutions in the U.S., Canada, the UK, and other countries. Students have submitted credits across 26+ countries.
🎯 About MAT311 – Discrete Math at Strayer
Does Strayer University accept Discrete Mathematics as a direct equivalent to their MAT311 – Discrete Math?
Yes. UPI Study's agreement with Strayer University lists UPI Study's Discrete Mathematics as Strayer's MAT311 – Discrete Math, a named course, not just elective or general-education credit. The credit posts to your Strayer transcript once UPI Study sends the official transcript.
Will this transfer with full named-course credit, or just as elective?
Named-course credit. UPI Study's agreement with Strayer University lists Discrete Mathematics as MAT311 – Discrete Math, so it meets that course requirement on your Strayer transcript, not a generic elective slot.
What if I've already taken MAT311 – Discrete Math at Strayer or elsewhere?
If you've already received credit for MAT311 – Discrete Math, Strayer typically applies UPI Study's Discrete Mathematics as elective credit instead (at the registrar's discretion). Check with your Strayer advisor before enrolling to confirm placement.
How does this compare to taking MAT311 – Discrete Math directly at Strayer?
The credit value is the same: 4 credits toward your Strayer degree. UPI Study's course is self-paced and online ($89/month or $250 one-time), so you can finish faster and start before you enroll at Strayer.

About this course

Understanding Discrete Mathematics for your Strayer credit.

What is Discrete Mathematics?

Discrete Mathematics is the study of math built from distinct, countable pieces rather than continuous quantities. It focuses on topics such as logic, sets, counting, probability, sequences, and proof methods, which are widely used in computer science, engineering, and other fields that depend on precise reasoning.

How the course teaches you

The course is self-paced and online, with video lessons you work through on your own schedule, followed by quizzes and assignments that check your understanding of logic, sets, counting, and proof methods before the final exam. Your grade is split evenly across attendance, quizzes, assignments, and the final exam, each worth 25%, so consistent participation counts as much as the exam. A completed course with a grade of C or higher produces a transcript entry, and that entry is what Strayer reviews when it applies the course as MAT311 – Discrete Math.

How it helps beyond the classroom

Discrete Mathematics builds the habit of structuring an argument, testing whether a conclusion actually follows, and counting or modeling possibilities precisely, which applies to programming, data work, and many technical roles. Because Strayer recognizes the course as a named equivalency, the skills appear on your record as a specific course, which gives the credit a defined place in a degree plan such as an Associate in Arts or a Bachelor's degree. That clear placement is useful when you are mapping remaining requirements toward graduation.

Skills you walk away with

Construct logical proofs and identify fallaciesUse truth tables and logical connectors correctlyWork with sets, functions, and relationsApply counting methods, permutations, and combinationsUse induction, recursion, and generating functionsSolve discrete probability and expected value problemsApply Boolean algebra and graph-theory concepts

Taking this course toward Strayer

Once you finish the course, your completed transcript is sent to Strayer, and Strayer's registrar applies the credit as MAT311 – Discrete Math. This is a named course equivalency in the catalog, so the credit fills that specific course slot in your degree plan rather than sitting as unassigned elective hours. Strayer accepts credit reviewed by ACE and NCCRS, with a grade of C or higher, up to 126 quarter hours toward a bachelor's degree, and this course counts against that ceiling alongside any other transferred work. Confirm the placement with a Strayer advisor against your specific program before you enroll in other courses.

Who this course is for

This course fits students who plan to finish a Strayer degree and want to reduce how many courses they take there, including working adults fitting school around a job and people moving into a technical field who need a math foundation. Because the credit arrives as MAT311 – Discrete Math, it fills a defined course slot rather than counting only as general elective credit, and total transfer is capped at 126 quarter hours. It is not a good match for students who need a live classroom, or for anyone who expects to earn less than a C, since Strayer will not accept that grade for transfer.
