This course carries an NCCRS recommendation for 4 semester credit hours. UPI Study courses follow the same evaluation standard used across thousands of colleges and universities.
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?

🎯 About MAT-2310 – Calculus I at TESU
Does Thomas Edison State University accept Calculus 1 as a direct equivalent to their MAT-2310 – Calculus I?
Yes. Under the formal Articulation Agreement between UPI Study and Thomas Edison State University, UPI Study's Calculus 1 is recognized as a direct named equivalent of TESU's MAT-2310 – Calculus I — not just elective or GE bucket credit. This is the strongest form of transfer recognition.
Will this transfer with full named-course credit, or just as elective?
Full named-course credit. The MOU specifically lists Calculus 1 as transferring as MAT-2310 – Calculus I — meaning it satisfies that specific course requirement on your TESU transcript, not a generic elective slot.
What if I've already taken MAT-2310 – Calculus I at TESU or elsewhere?
If you've already received credit for MAT-2310 – Calculus I, TESU typically applies UPI Study's Calculus 1 as elective credit instead (at the registrar's discretion). Check with your TESU advisor before enrolling to confirm placement.
How does this compare to taking MAT-2310 – Calculus I directly at TESU?
The credit value is identical: 4 credits toward your TESU degree. UPI Study's course is self-paced and online ($89/month or $250 one-time), while TESU's subscription is $39/month — but UPI Study lets you finish faster and start without TESU enrollment. Many students complete UPI Study courses BEFORE enrolling at TESU to reduce overall program time.
Does Thomas Edison State University ever change which courses they accept as MAT-2310 – Calculus I?
Equivalencies are reviewed periodically. The current Articulation Agreement between UPI Study and Thomas Edison State University explicitly lists Calculus 1 → MAT-2310 – Calculus I. We update this page whenever the MOU changes. If you've already completed the course and earned an NCCRS-recommended transcript, your credit recognition is generally honored even if future versions of the MOU change.
🔄 About transferring to TESU
How many UPI Study courses can I stack toward my TESU degree?
Thomas Edison State University accepts up to 75% of degree credit requirements as transfer credit — up to 90 credits for the bachelor's degree. 50 UPI Study courses are recognized by TESU under the Articulation Agreement, so you can stack a substantial portion of your degree before enrolling at TESU.
Do I need to enroll at TESU first?
No. You can take UPI Study courses with no TESU enrollment, no application, and no admission process. Take the course, earn the credit, then submit your transcript to TESU when you're ready.
How does the transcript reach TESU?
Once you complete Calculus 1, UPI Study sends an official transcript in PDF format directly to the email address designated by Thomas Edison State University. TESU's registrar applies the agreed equivalency (MAT-2310 – Calculus I) to your transcript. No third-party services are involved.
About this course

Understanding Calculus 1 for your TESU credit.

What is Calculus 1?

Calculus 1 is the study of change and accumulation. It introduces the idea of a limit, then uses limits to define derivatives and integrals, which are tools for measuring rates of change, slopes, area, and total amount in real situations.

How the course teaches you

Calculus 1 is delivered as a self-paced online course with video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam. The grade is based on 25% Attendance, 25% Quizzes, 25% Assignments, and 25% Final Exam. When you finish, the transcript can be used at Thomas Edison State University, where the course is recognized as MAT-2310 – Calculus I.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The course builds skills in limits, derivatives, and integrals that are used to measure change, rates, area, and total amount in practical settings. At Thomas Edison State University, that work can support degree planning in programs such as the Associate of Arts or Bachelor of Arts, where MAT-2310 – Calculus I is a named course equivalency in the catalog.

Skills you walk away with

Evaluate limits graphically, numerically, and analyticallyDifferentiate polynomial, exponential, logarithmic, trigonometric, and inverse trigonometric functionsUse the chain rule, product rule, quotient rule, and implicit differentiationAnalyze critical points, increasing/decreasing intervals, and concavitySolve optimization and related rates problemsCompute basic antiderivatives and definite integralsApply the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus

Taking this course toward TESU

After you complete the course, your transcript is sent so Thomas Edison State University can review it for transfer. TESU’s registrar applies the credit as MAT-2310 – Calculus I, which is a named course equivalency rather than a general elective. That matters because it places the course directly into your TESU degree plan in a way the catalog already defines. TESU allows up to 90 transferred credits, so this course can be part of a larger transfer plan for an Associate of Arts or Bachelor of Arts.

Who this course is for

This course is a good option for students who want a clear path to Thomas Edison State University and need a calculus course that carries the named recognition MAT-2310 – Calculus I. It can also fit students who are working through TESU’s transfer-friendly model and want to stay within the 90-credit transfer ceiling. It is not the right choice for someone who needs a different mathematics course or who is not planning to use the credit at TESU.
