FAQ

Common Questions Answered.

Everything you need to know about UPI Study credits and how they transfer to Maestro University.

Is Bottega University the same as Maestro University?
Yes — Bottega University is now known as Maestro University. The school rebranded in 2026. The Articulation Agreement UPI Study signed on March 17, 2025 (under the Bottega University name) carries over to Maestro University, so every course equivalency on this page still applies.
Does Maestro University officially accept UPI Study credits?
Yes. Maestro University and UPI Study signed a formal Articulation Agreement on March 17, 2025, signed by Tim Harrington, EdD (then President/CEO of Bottega University, now Maestro University) and Manit Kaushal (CTO of UPI Study). Under it, Maestro recognizes UPI Study's ACE & NCCRS-recommended courses for transfer credit toward its undergraduate degrees. The equivalency table above shows how each course maps.
Is UPI Study an official partner of Maestro University?
Yes — UPI Study and Maestro University are official articulation partners. The agreement remains in effect for a renewable three-year term and enables students to earn ACE & NCCRS-recommended credits through UPI Study and apply them directly to Maestro undergraduate programs.
Which Maestro course codes can I earn through UPI Study?
Many UPI Study courses map to specific Maestro courses, including:

Business: BA205 (Principles of Management), BA210 (Organizational Behavior), BA220 (Principles of Marketing), BA235 (Business Statistics), BA252 (New Venture Creation), BA271 (Macroeconomics), BA272 (Microeconomics), BA280 (Accounting), BA356 (HR Management), BA375 (Ethical Decision Making), BA420 (Business Law), BA425 (Finance), BA436 (International Business), BA490 (Project Management)
Computer Science: CS100 (Coding Foundations), CS110 (Intro to Computers), CS277 (Intro to Python), CS300 (Network & Internet Security), CS301 (Intro to JavaScript), CS382 (Database Foundations), CS383 (Advanced Database Management)
General Education: EN115 (Technical Writing), GS150 (General Biology), GS210 (Earth Science), PY141 (General Psychology), SO241 (General Sociology), MA125 (College Algebra)

Courses without a direct match transfer as General Elective credit.
Which Maestro course is UPI Study's Programming in Python?
Introduction to Python (3 credits at Maestro), under the Articulation Agreement Maestro (then Bottega University) signed with UPI Study on March 17, 2025.
Which Maestro course is UPI Study's Microeconomics?
Microeconomics (3 credits at Maestro), under the Articulation Agreement Maestro (then Bottega University) signed with UPI Study on March 17, 2025.
What does Introduction to Sociology become at Maestro?
General Sociology (3 credits at Maestro), under the Articulation Agreement Maestro (then Bottega University) signed with UPI Study on March 17, 2025.
Which Maestro rows are UPI Study's recommendations?
Art History II, U.S. History I, U.S. History II, French I, French II, Critical Thinking & Analysis, among others. Maestro has not listed these yet, so the chart shows the closest Maestro course or area UPI Study recommends; Maestro confirms each one when it evaluates your transcript.
Will Maestro University charge tuition for UPI Study credits it recognizes?
No. Under the Articulation Agreement, Maestro will not charge tuition for the UPI Study courses it recognizes as credit. You complete the courses affordably through UPI Study, then transfer them — reducing both your tuition cost and your time to graduation.
How do I submit my UPI Study transcript to Maestro?
Once you complete your courses, UPI Study sends your official transcript directly to Maestro University's designated email and mailing address. To have credit applied, you must be enrolled at Maestro as a student in good standing and meet program requirements.
What happens if a course shows as a "General Elective"?
A General Elective still counts toward your Maestro degree as elective credit. Maestro awarded direct course equivalencies for many UPI Study courses and elective credit for the rest — both reduce the number of courses you need to complete at Maestro.
Can I earn college credit without enrolling in a degree first?
Yes. You can take individual UPI Study courses and earn ACE & NCCRS-recommended credit independently — no application or admission process to begin — then transfer them to Maestro when you enroll.
How much can I save by transferring credits to Maestro?
UPI Study courses cost a fraction of traditional per-credit tuition. By completing ACE & NCCRS-recommended courses through UPI Study and transferring them to Maestro — which doesn't charge tuition for recognized credits — students can save significantly and graduate sooner. Many employers also reimburse $1,000–$3,000/year for ACE coursework.
What grade do I need for Maestro to accept a UPI Study course?
Maestro's 2026–2027 catalog says only grades of C (70 or above) or better are considered for undergraduate transfer credit.
How many transfer credits can count toward a Maestro degree?
Maestro's 2026–2027 catalog sets the maximum transfer credit from all sources at up to 45 credits (15 courses) for an associate degree and up to 90 credits (30 courses) for a bachelor's degree, and says transfer credit may not exceed 75% of an undergraduate program's requirements. Maestro's Academic Director is the final authority on all transfer credits.
Is there a time limit on computer science courses at Maestro?
Yes. Maestro's 2026–2027 catalog says computer and technology courses must have been taken within the last five years to be eligible for transfer credit.
Where does my UPI Study transcript go at Maestro?
Under the agreement, UPI Study sends official transcripts electronically in PDF format to the email address Maestro designates. Maestro's catalog says it does not perform transfer credit evaluations from unofficial transcripts, prefers electronic documents sent to Registrar@Maestro.edu, and does not charge for a transfer credit evaluation once you are enrolled.
Which Maestro degrees can UPI Study credits count toward?
The agreement covers Maestro's undergraduate degrees. Maestro lists the Associate of Science in Business; the Bachelor of Science in Business with Entrepreneurship, General Business, Management/Leadership, and Sales and Sales Management tracks; the Associate of Science in Computer Science and the Bachelor of Science in Computer Science – Business Software Development; and the Associate of Science and Bachelor of Arts in Communication.
How long will a UPI Study course take before I can send it to Maestro?
As long as you choose. UPI Study courses are self-paced: you can finish as fast or as slow as you want. There is no minimum or maximum time to finish a course; plan around Maestro's own dates, such as your application or term start, and leave about two days after your last submission for grading.
Are there scholarships for Maestro students at UPI Study?
No: UPI Study has no scholarships or fee waivers, but you can earn points: refer friends through the Refer a Friend section on this page and post about UPI Study, then spend the points on courses (1 point = $1 at UPI Study). Maestro students get the same partner pricing: $89 a month on the monthly plan, US or international.
