🎯 About General Elective at Woodmont
What does 'Elective credit' mean at Woodmont College?
Elective credit fills the elective portion of a Woodmont degree — credits required for graduation but not tied to a specific named course or general education category. Every Woodmont 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 Woodmont degree?
Woodmont'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 Woodmont's current academic catalog for the exact elective credit requirement.
Can I use Software Engineering for Woodmont electives even though it's a computer science course?
Yes. UPI Study's agreement with Woodmont College lists UPI Study's Software Engineering as General Elective at Woodmont, whatever its subject area. The credit posts to your Woodmont transcript once UPI Study sends the official transcript.
How many UPI Study courses can I stack as electives at Woodmont?
Up to the overall 70% transfer cap (84 credits for the Bachelor's). Woodmont 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 Woodmont 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 this course

Understanding Software Engineering for your Woodmont credit.

What is Software Engineering?

Software Engineering is the study of how software is planned, built, tested, and maintained in an organized way. It covers the methods used to turn a problem or set of requirements into a working program, including how teams gather needs, design the system, choose a development process, and check that the result works as intended.

How the course teaches you

Software Engineering (CS 301) is a self-paced online course built on video lessons, with quizzes that make up 20% of the grade, one assignment worth 30%, and a final exam worth 50%. Once you complete the course and the credit posts to your transcript, Woodmont College recognizes it as a General Elective, an elective equivalency that counts toward total credit hours and elective requirements.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The course trains you to break a vague problem into requirements, choose a development process, and test whether the result works, skills that carry over to any role that involves software, IT projects, or process improvement. At Woodmont, the credit can be applied within a BS in Technology, BS in Business, or BS in Psychology plan, so the same course can support a technical focus or a business or research track. Its emphasis on evaluating systems and designing customized methodologies is useful for anyone who manages or works alongside development teams.

Skills you walk away with

Evaluate software requirements and turn them into clear modelsCompare SDLC process models, including Agile, Scrum, and XPCreate and interpret UML diagrams and data flow diagramsApply object-oriented analysis and design principlesDesign software architecture and component-level structuresUse user interface design principles in system planningAnalyze system problems and propose development solutions

Taking this course toward Woodmont

After you finish the course, the transcript is sent to Woodmont College, and Woodmont's registrar applies it as a General Elective. That credit counts toward your total credit hours and your elective requirements, so check your degree plan to see how many elective slots remain open. Woodmont accepts up to 84 credits (70%) in transfer, which sets the ceiling for everything you bring in from UPI Study and other sources combined.

Who this course is for

This course suits working adults who want to finish a Woodmont degree at lower cost, students closing out the last credits of a degree, and people switching into tech-adjacent work who need a structured overview of how software gets built. Because Woodmont counts it as an elective rather than a required course, it fills open elective slots and does not replace a specific requirement in your major. It is not a good fit if you need a particular required course for your program, or if you expect a programming-heavy class, since the material focuses on methods and process, and the final exam carries half the grade.
