Anna, Pennsylvania State University

I was able to go from having no transferable credits to transferring 90 college credits into my university through UPI Study. The courses are broken down into short, easy-to-follow video lessons, which made learning manageable even with a busy schedule.
The platform itself is modern and easy to use, not glitchy or outdated like some online learning systems. If you’re trying to finish your degree faster or pick up extra classes without a huge added cost, UPI Study is a solid option.

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 The course content was relevant, current, and actually useful—not outdated or filler material.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.
