Frequently asked questions

Everything about Physics I → TESU.

📚 About Physics I
What is Physics I?
Physics I is a college-level STEM course building quantitative and analytical skills. It is Physics 200 — worth 3 credit hours, carrying ACE and NCCRS recommendations from ACE & NCCRS.
Is this course difficult?
The course is designed to be challenging but accessible. It is self-paced, so you can take the time you need on more difficult concepts. Most students complete it in 28–30 days with consistent effort.
Is this course self-paced?
Yes. The course is fully self-paced with no deadlines or fixed class times. Most students complete it in 28–30 days, but you can move faster or slower depending on your schedule.
How many college credits is this course worth?
This course carries ACE and NCCRS recommendations for 3 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: 20% Quizzes · 30% Assignments · 50% Final Exam.
How do I check if my university accepts UPI Study credits?
Check our Find My College directory . If your university recognizes ACE & 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 ACE & NCCRS-recommended content at $250 total , with no deadlines and no campus requirement.
Can international students take this course?
Yes. UPI Study courses carry ACE and NCCRS recommendations — recognized by cooperating institutions in the U.S., Canada, the UK, and other countries. Students have submitted credits across 26+ countries.
🎯 About PHY-1110 – Physics I at TESU
Does Thomas Edison State University accept Physics I as a direct equivalent to their PHY-1110 – Physics I?
Yes. Under the formal Articulation Agreement between UPI Study and Thomas Edison State University, UPI Study's Physics I is recognized as a direct named equivalent of TESU's PHY-1110 – Physics 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 Physics I as transferring as PHY-1110 – Physics I — meaning it satisfies that specific course requirement on your TESU transcript, not a generic elective slot.
What if I've already taken PHY-1110 – Physics I at TESU or elsewhere?
If you've already received credit for PHY-1110 – Physics I, TESU typically applies UPI Study's Physics I 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 PHY-1110 – Physics I directly at TESU?
The credit value is identical: 3 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 PHY-1110 – Physics I?
Equivalencies are reviewed periodically. The current Articulation Agreement between UPI Study and Thomas Edison State University explicitly lists Physics I → PHY-1110 – Physics 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 Physics I, 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 (PHY-1110 – Physics I) to your transcript. No third-party services are involved.
About this course

Understanding Physics I for your TESU credit.

What is Physics I?

Physics I is an introduction to the basic laws that describe how objects move and interact. It covers measurement, vectors, motion, forces, work, and energy, so you learn how to use math to explain everyday physical situations such as a falling object, a car speeding up, or a ball thrown through the air.

How the course teaches you

Physics I (Physics 200) is a self-paced online course built around video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam. The grade is based on 20% quizzes, 30% assignments, and 50% final exam, so your transcript reflects completed work in a format TESU can evaluate for transfer. Once the course is finished and recorded, the transcript carries the credit that Thomas Edison State University recognizes as PHY-1110 – Physics I.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The course builds skills in measurement, vectors, motion, forces, work, and energy, which are useful for understanding physical situations and solving problems with math. At TESU, that credit can help move you toward degree progress in programs such as the Associate of Arts or Bachelor of Arts while satisfying a named course requirement as PHY-1110 – Physics I. For students planning around TESU’s 90-credit transfer limit, earning a course that maps directly into the degree can make planning more straightforward.

Skills you walk away with

Use units and conversions accuratelyWork with vectors in physics problemsCalculate displacement, velocity, and accelerationAnalyze motion in one, two, and three dimensionsApply Newton’s laws to force-and-motion situationsSolve work, kinetic energy, and power problemsInterpret data and basic experimental results

Taking this course toward TESU

After you complete the course, your transcript is sent for evaluation and TESU applies the credit as PHY-1110 – Physics I, the named course equivalency in its catalog. That designation means the credit is not just counted generally; it maps to a specific TESU course in your degree plan. Because TESU accepts up to 90 transfer credits, you still need to track how this course fits within the remaining requirements. For students building toward an Associate of Arts or Bachelor of Arts, that named recognition gives clear placement in the transfer record.

Who this course is for

This course is a good fit for students who want physics credit that transfers to Thomas Edison State University as PHY-1110 – Physics I and who are working within TESU’s 90-credit transfer ceiling. It can suit students finishing a degree, changing direction, or trying to keep transfer decisions simple by earning a named equivalency rather than an unspecified elective. It is not the best choice for someone who wants a lab-based physics sequence or does not need a TESU course match in an Associate of Arts or Bachelor of Arts plan.
