Some Of Our Popular Courses

Studying journalism abroad was my dream, but the fees were too high. I had no idea about college credits until a YouTube video introduced me to UPI. I took UPI courses and earned 1.5 years' worth of credits. With a small scholarship, I finished my U.S. degree for less than $50K. Although I was hesitant because my course wasn’t STEM, UPI listened to my worries and assured me it would be possible. UPI opened doors for me that I didn’t think were possible.

I just got admitted to Michigan State, TMU, and Yorkville University as a second-year student with 60 transferable credits, saving two years of tuition and living costs. I chose a reputable university in the U.S. UPI promised to take care of me, and they delivered. I'm excited and grateful for all the opportunities I have received because of UPI. With the program, I got multiple admits with credits and had a lot of options.

After grade 12 in Punjab, I joined UPI and earned 60 transferable credits. I graduated in May 2023 and saved two years' worth of tuition fees. Now, I have a job at KPMG, which I do not think I could have achieved staying in India. I come from a small town, and without UPI’s help, my parents could have barely afforded two years of studies. UPI helped me get a degree and achieve my goals.

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.

I stumbled across UPI and decided to earn some credits, seeing it as a cost-saving method. At that time, I didn't even know where I was going to go but decided to pursue it anyway. Getting into NUS was a big surprise for me since the credits I had earned were for U.S. universities. UPI then informed me that my credits would be recognized by NUS, allowing me to join with a year's worth of credits. UPI made NUS possible for me.

I had spent three semesters in the U.S., but my parents could no longer afford 2.5 more years of tuition. So, I packed up to go back to India after the summer. I saw a video on my Instagram about UPI study, decided to check it out, and it seemed like something that would really help my situation. I earned 45 credits online and spent just one more year at university, which saved me a lot of tuition, and graduated. UPI helped me finish my dream.
