Saherine, Southern New Hampshire University
It’s completely legit. I’d just recommend checking in advance that the credits will transfer to the university or college you plan to attend...which is something you should do with any transfer credit option anyway!!
Using UPI Study ended up saving me an entire semester of tuition! I spent a few hundred dollars instead of several thousand, which honestly made a huge difference. The course content was relevant, current, and actually useful—not outdated or filler material.
If your school accepts the transferable credits from UPI Study, it’s a no-brainer. It’s an affordable way to earn college credit online and move through your degree faster.
Lewis, Excelsior University
As a working professional, I wanted to advance my career with a Data Science degree. UPI Study allowed me to earn credits while working full-time, which I transferred to California State University. This helped me finish my degree in 1.5 years instead of 4. I'm graduating in fall '24 and will be working as a data analyst at a health startup. UPI was key to my career growth.
