Nexford University has forged a new partnership with UPI Study through an Articulation Agreement announced today, set to take effect on April 24, 2026. This agreement creates a structured pathway for transferring credits for students aiming to earn undergraduate degrees at Nexford. Under this collaboration, Nexford will assess UPI Study courses that are recommended for credit by ACE and NCCRS, allowing students to transfer these credits toward their degree programs at Nexford. The agreement covers nearly 70 courses aligned with Nexford’s offerings, including fields such as business, computer science, AI, math, science, and social sciences. These courses can be completed entirely online at a pace chosen by the learner, either before or during their enrollment at Nexford.
This initiative targets working adults, individuals seeking career changes, and busy learners, offering them a more efficient and cost-effective path to obtaining a degree. By utilizing this credit transfer pathway, learners can commence their studies at Nexford with credits already accrued, thereby reducing both the time and financial investment required to graduate. Dr. Ann Larson, Nexford University’s Chief Academic Officer, emphasized the importance of this arrangement, stating, “At Nexford, we believe the path to a degree should fit the life you already have, not the other way around. This partnership with UPI Study gives learners a credible, recognized way to build toward their degree before they ever enroll. That’s the kind of access we were built to create.”
UPI Study distinguishes itself by offering self-paced, ACE and NCCRS-recommended college-level courses at a starting price of $89 per month. This cost-effective option stands in stark contrast to the traditional community college cost range of $300 to $600 per credit hour. Students have the opportunity to complete individual courses, earn an official transcript, and submit their credits directly to Nexford for evaluation.
