Savings = credits × $295 (SUNY Empire State NYS resident undergraduate per-credit rate, verified from sunyempire.edu 2026-05-21). Out-of-state students pay $708/credit before grants. UPI Study does not have a formal articulation agreement with SUNY Empire State — equivalencies on this page are reproduced from SUNY Empire's public TES (Transfer Evaluation System) database. Final transferability is determined solely by SUNY Empire's registrar in line with their institutional transfer credit policies.
Intro to Biology 2 is a second-semester biology course that studies how living things are built, how they function, and how they interact with each other and their environments. It covers microbes such as viruses, prokaryotes, protists, fungi, and prions, as well as plants and animals, with attention to body systems, evolution, and basic genetics. The course is a broad survey of life science for students who want a clearer understanding of organisms from the cellular level to whole-body function.
Intro to Biology 2 is a self-paced online course with video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam weighted at 20% quizzes, 30% assignments, and 50% final exam. When you finish and your transcript is issued, SUNY Empire State University can review it as a course-by-course equivalency and recognize it as Gen Ed: Natural Sciences (3 cr).
The course builds practical understanding of biology, from genetics and microbes to body systems and ecology, which can help you read scientific information more carefully and make sense of health, environment, and biotechnology topics. At SUNY Empire, that preparation can support progress in programs such as an Associate Degree or a Bachelor of Science because the credit applies as Gen Ed: Natural Sciences (3 cr) rather than as a free elective only.
After you complete the course, your transcript is sent for review and SUNY Empire State University applies the verified equivalency on a course-by-course basis. At SUNY Empire, that means the course is recognized as Gen Ed: Natural Sciences (3 cr), which can satisfy a general-education requirement in the degree plan. This matters because it may help you move through an Associate Degree or Bachelor of Science without using a separate natural sciences course at the university. SUNY Empire allows up to 93 transfer credits, so the course can count within that overall limit if the rest of your transfer record fits.
This course is a good fit for students planning to use a biology requirement toward SUNY Empire and who want a clear general-education science credit that fits into a degree plan. It is especially useful for students who need a transferable Natural Sciences credit while staying mindful of SUNY Empire's 93-credit transfer limit. It is not the best choice for someone looking for an advanced lab-intensive biology sequence or a major-specific course at SUNY Empire.
SUNY Empire State University accepts UPI Study courses for transfer credit on a course-by-course basis. These equivalencies are verified from published SUNY evaluations.
This is a verified course equivalency, not a formal partnership. Transfer credits are never guaranteed and are determined solely by the university's registrar.
Enroll for $250 (or use a UPI Study subscription), finish in 28–30 days, and transfer 3 credits to SUNY Empire State University.
