Nexford University has entered into a new partnership with UPI Study to streamline the path to undergraduate degrees for learners. Effective April 24, 2026, this Articulation Agreement allows students to transfer credits from UPI Study’s courses, which are recommended by ACE and NCCRS, into Nexford’s programs. This collaboration offers nearly 70 courses in fields such as business, computer science, AI, math, science, and social sciences that can be completed entirely online and at the students’ convenience.
The agreement targets working adults, career changers, and busy learners, providing a more efficient and cost-effective route to obtaining a degree. By allowing students to transfer credits before enrollment, Nexford enables them to reduce both the time and financial burden of completing their studies. Dr. Ann Larson, Nexford University’s Chief Academic Officer, emphasized that this partnership provides a credible and recognized pathway for students to advance toward their degrees even before they officially start their academic journey at Nexford.
UPI Study’s courses are priced starting at $89 per month, a stark contrast to the typical $300 to $600 per credit hour cost at traditional community colleges. This affordability, combined with the flexibility of self-paced, online learning, offers a significant advantage. Students can complete individual courses, receive an official transcript, and have their credits evaluated by Nexford for potential transfer.
For those interested in exploring the course offerings and their equivalencies, a comprehensive guide is available detailing how UPI Study courses align with Nexford’s programs. This resource can be accessed at UPI Study’s website, providing prospective students with clear information on how to optimize their educational journey.
Nexford University, based in Washington, DC, is committed to modern, AI-driven education that focuses on real-world skills valued by employers. Meanwhile, UPI Study supports learners with self-paced, fully online courses recognized by over 2,100 universities. The synergy between these two institutions promises to enhance educational opportunities for students seeking flexible and affordable degree pathways.
