Frequently asked questions

Everything about Art History II → UoPeople.

📚 About Art History II
What is Art History II?
A college-level survey of art from the Renaissance through contemporary practice. It is ART 102 with 15 chapters.
Do I need Art History I first?
No. The two courses are chronologically sequential but independent — either can be taken first.
Does Art History II satisfy a fine arts requirement?
Commonly yes, sometimes under humanities. Your registrar can confirm in minutes.
Is any studio or drawing work required?
No. This is a history and analysis course with no studio component.
How is Art History II graded?
Chapter quizzes, one assignment, and a cumulative final exam. 70 or above passes.
How long does Art History II take to complete?
54 contact hours; typically 28–30 days.
Does it cover non-Western art?
The final chapters address global and contemporary practice beyond the Western canon.
Will Art History II credit transfer to my university?
Most regionally accredited colleges accept NCCRS credit recommendations — UPI Study students transfer credits to schools like SNHU, UMPI, WGU, and Penn State regularly. Your registrar can confirm your school's policy in minutes.
Does Art History II count as a fine arts credit?
Typically yes, as fine arts or humanities gen-ed credit — verify the category with your school.
Is there a CLEP exam for Art History II?
No — no Art History CLEP exists, so a transferable course is the self-paced route to this credit.
🎯 About Elective credit at UoPeople
What does 'Elective credit' mean at University of the People?
Elective credit fills the elective portion of a UoPeople degree — credits required for graduation but not tied to a specific named course or general education category. Every UoPeople 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 UoPeople degree?
UoPeople'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 UoPeople's current academic catalog for the exact elective credit requirement.
Can I use Art History II for UoPeople electives even though it's a social science course?
Yes. The Articulation Agreement explicitly recognizes UPI Study's Art History II as elective credit at UoPeople, regardless of subject area. UoPeople 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 UoPeople?
Up to the overall 75% transfer cap (90 credits for the Bachelor's). UoPeople 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 UoPeople 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.
