Nexford University and UPI Study have finalized an Articulation Agreement, effective from April 24, 2026, that creates a streamlined credit transfer pathway for students aiming to earn undergraduate degrees at Nexford. This collaboration enables Nexford to assess UPI Study courses, which carry ACE and NCCRS credit recommendations, for potential credit toward its undergraduate offerings. Students have the option to select from nearly 70 courses aligned with Nexford’s curriculum, covering disciplines such as business, computer science, artificial intelligence, mathematics, science, and social sciences, all available online for self-paced completion before or during their enrollment at Nexford.
The initiative aims to provide a more efficient and economical route to a degree for working adults, career changers, and individuals with busy schedules. By allowing students to transfer credits they have already earned, the agreement not only shortens the time required to graduate but also reduces overall educational expenses. Dr. Ann Larson, Chief Academic Officer at Nexford University, emphasized the university’s commitment to offering flexible education pathways, stating, “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 provides affordable college-level courses that are both ACE and NCCRS-recommended, starting at $89 per month. This pricing is notably lower compared to the traditional community college costs, which range from $300 to $600 per credit hour. Students can complete these courses at their own pace and obtain an official transcript, which they can then submit to Nexford for credit evaluation. For more detailed information, the full course equivalency guide can be accessed at UPI Study’s website.
Nexford University, based in Washington, DC, is designed as a modern, AI-centric institution focused on equipping students with practical skills relevant to today’s job market. Courses are flexible and tailored to suit the needs of working professionals striving to balance their careers, family responsibilities, and educational ambitions. In contrast, UPI Study offers over 2,100 universities access to its ACE and NCCRS-recommended courses, facilitating entirely online, deadline-free learning experiences.
