🎯 About ELC000 – General Elective at Strayer
What does 'Elective credit' mean at Strayer University?
Elective credit fills the elective portion of a Strayer degree — credits required for graduation but not tied to a specific named course or general education category. Every Strayer 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 Strayer degree?
Strayer's degree programs each define an elective credit minimum within the total (90 credits for the Associate, 180 for the Bachelor's). The specific count varies by program. Check Strayer's current academic catalog for the exact elective credit requirement.
Can I use International Business for Strayer electives even though it's a business course?
Yes. UPI Study's agreement with Strayer University lists UPI Study's International Business as ELC000 – General Elective at Strayer, whatever its subject area. The credit posts to your Strayer transcript once UPI Study sends the official transcript.
How many UPI Study courses can I stack as electives at Strayer?
Up to the overall 70% transfer cap (126 credits for the Bachelor's). Strayer 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 Strayer degree. Elective credits count fully toward the 90-credit Associate or 180-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.

Once you complete International Business, UPI Study sends an official transcript in PDF format directly to the email address designated by Strayer University. Strayer's registrar applies the agreed equivalency (ELC000 – General Elective) to your transcript. No third-party services are involved.
About this course

Understanding International Business for your Strayer credit.

What is International Business?

International Business looks at how companies operate across national borders. It covers how culture, trade rules, exchange rates, and political and economic differences affect the way businesses sell, negotiate, hire, and make decisions in different countries.

How the course teaches you

You work through the course online at your own pace, watching video lessons, completing quizzes, and submitting the assignment before taking the final exam. Your grade is weighted 20% quizzes, 30% assignment, and 50% final exam, so the exam carries the most weight. Once you finish with a passing grade, the course appears on your transcript, and that transcript credit is what Strayer reviews and recognizes as ELC000 – General Elective.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The course explains how exchange rates, trade rules, and cultural norms shape the way businesses sell, negotiate, and hire across borders. Those skills apply to domestic jobs that involve overseas suppliers, export markets, or international clients. At Strayer, the credit counts as a general elective, so it adds to total credit hours in programs such as the Associate in Arts and the Bachelor's degree.

Skills you walk away with

Global strategic decision-makingCross-cultural communicationNegotiation and conflict resolution across culturesAnalyzing trade barriers, tariffs, and protectionismInterpreting exchange rate and currency changesAssessing international trade regulations and agreementsDeveloping market entry strategies

Taking this course toward Strayer

After you complete the course, ask your institution to send your transcript to Strayer. Strayer's registrar reviews the credit and, when the grade is a C or higher, applies it as ELC000 – General Elective. That placement fills elective space in your degree plan and does not satisfy a named major requirement. Strayer accepts up to 126 quarter hours of transfer credit toward a bachelor's degree, which is 70% of the total, so count this course against that ceiling when you map out your remaining credits.

Who this course is for

This course fits working adults and degree-finishers who need elective hours to complete a Strayer program and want a business-focused option. Career changers moving toward roles that involve global trade will also find it relevant. It is not a good choice if you need a specific required course in your major, because the Strayer recognition is a general elective and not a direct equivalent. Keep in mind that transfer credit is capped at 126 quarter hours, so plan the rest of your coursework around that limit.
