Savings = semester credits × $518: Strayer's $1,555 undergraduate tuition per course (strayer.edu, 13 Oct 2026) divided by the 3 semester hours one Strayer course equals. Strayer makes the final credit award.
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 is taught online through lessons on prefixes, suffixes, root words, and the vocabulary of major body systems, with quizzes, an assignment, and a final exam along the way. Your grade is weighted evenly at 25% each for attendance, quizzes, assignments, and the final exam, so consistent participation counts as much as the final. Earning a C or higher produces a transcript entry that Strayer recognizes as HSA115 – Healthcare Communication and Terminology.
Being able to break down an unfamiliar term lets you read discharge summaries, lab reports, and insurance paperwork without guessing, which is useful in clinical, billing, and administrative healthcare roles. At Strayer, this credit can count toward programs such as the Associate in Arts and the Bachelor's degree, so the vocabulary you learn feeds directly into a degree you are already working toward.
Once you complete the course, your transcript is sent to Strayer, and the registrar reviews it and applies the credit as HSA115 – Healthcare Communication and Terminology. Because this is a named course equivalency, the credit maps to a specific catalog course code, which is the strongest form of transfer recognition Strayer offers. That means the credit fills a defined spot in your degree plan rather than landing as a general elective, which can reduce the number of courses you still need. Strayer's 2026-2027 catalog caps transfer credit at 126 quarter hours toward a bachelor's degree, so this course counts within that limit alongside any other accepted transfer work.
This course fits adults returning to finish a degree who want to bring in credit they have already earned, and students moving into healthcare-related work who want a lower-cost route into required coursework, given Strayer's rate of $518 per credit. Because Strayer accepts up to 126 quarter hours toward a bachelor's degree, it is worth checking how much transfer credit you already hold before you enroll. It is not the right choice if you have no plans to attend Strayer, since the HSA115 equivalency applies only there.
Strayer University signed an articulation agreement with UPI Study (effective 15 June 2025). Its 2026-2027 catalog accepts credit reviewed by ACE and NCCRS, with a grade of C or higher, up to 126 quarter hours toward a bachelor's degree.
Transfer credits are never guaranteed. Strayer determines, in its sole discretion, which credits qualify under the agreement and its transfer credit policies.
Enroll for $250 (or use a UPI Study subscription), finish in 28–30 days, and transfer 3 credits to Strayer University.
