🎯 About Biology Elective (100 Level) at UAG
What does 'Elective credit' mean at University of Arkansas Grantham?
Elective credit fills the elective portion of a UAG degree — credits required for graduation but not tied to a specific named course or general education category. Every UAG 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 UAG degree?
UAG's degree programs each define an elective credit minimum within the total (60 credits for the Associate, 120 for the Bachelor's). The specific count varies by program. Check UAG's current academic catalog for the exact elective credit requirement.
Can I use Intro to Biology 2 for UAG electives even though it's a science course?
Yes. The Articulation Agreement explicitly recognizes UPI Study's Intro to Biology 2 as elective credit at UAG, regardless of subject area. UAG accepts transfer credit across disciplines as long as the credit comes from an approved provider with NCCRS or ACE recommendations.
How many UPI Study courses can I stack as electives at UAG?
Up to the overall 75% transfer cap (90 credits for the Bachelor's). UAG 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 UAG degree. Elective credits count fully toward the 60-credit Associate or 120-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.
🔄 About transferring to UAG

University of Arkansas Grantham accepts up to 75% of degree credit requirements as transfer credit — up to 90 credits for the bachelor's degree. 66 UPI Study courses are recognized by UAG under the Articulation Agreement, so you can stack a substantial portion of your degree before enrolling at UAG.
Do I need to enroll at UAG first?
No. You can take UPI Study courses with no UAG enrollment, no application, and no admission process. Take the course, earn the credit, then submit your transcript to UAG when you're ready.
How does the transcript reach UAG?
Once you complete Intro to Biology 2, UPI Study sends an official transcript in PDF format directly to the email address designated by University of Arkansas Grantham. UAG's registrar applies the agreed equivalency (Biology Elective (100 Level)) to your transcript. No third-party services are involved.
About this course

Understanding Intro to Biology 2 for your UAG credit.

What is Intro to Biology 2?

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.

How the course teaches you

Intro to Biology 2 is a self-paced online course built around video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam, with grading weighted 20% Quizzes, 30% Assignments, and 50% Final Exam. When you finish and your transcript is issued, the completed Biology 200 credit can be evaluated by University of Arkansas Grantham as Biology Elective (100 Level), which means it may apply as elective credit in an UAG degree plan.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The course gives you a working understanding of organisms, genetics, and how biological systems interact, which can help in settings where you need to interpret science-based information or make informed decisions. At University of Arkansas Grantham, that credit may support programs such as the Associate of Applied Science or Bachelor of Business Administration by filling elective space while moving you toward the 90-credit transfer limit.

Skills you walk away with

Explain evolution, inheritance, and ecological systemsDescribe DNA replication, transcription, translation, and gene regulationUse basic biotechnology concepts in genome mapping and sequencingAnalyze adaptations in plants and animalsEvaluate scientific investigations and ethical issues in biologyCompare major groups of organisms, including microbes, fungi, plants, and animalsConnect organ systems to homeostasis in the human body

Taking this course toward UAG

After you complete the course, your transcript is sent for review and University of Arkansas Grantham applies transfer credit course by course. If the coursework is accepted, Biology 200 may come in as Biology Elective (100 Level), which counts toward total credit hours and elective requirements at UAG. That matters when you are mapping out a degree plan, because elective credit can help you stay on track in programs such as the Associate of Applied Science or Bachelor of Business Administration. Keep the overall transfer ceiling in mind: UAG allows up to 90 credits, or 75% of a degree, to transfer.

Who this course is for

This course fits students who want a biology course that can transfer to University of Arkansas Grantham as a Biology Elective (100 Level) rather than a major-specific requirement. It is a practical choice for people building toward a degree while watching transfer limits, since UAG accepts up to 90 credits and awards transfer credit course by course with a grade of C or better. It is not the best option if you need a lab-heavy or upper-level biology course for a specialized program.
