Access to quality education shouldn’t be limited by geography or cost. In a move that underscores this belief, UPI Study and Bottega University have entered into a formal articulation agreement that helps students earn affordable, accredited U.S. degrees through a flexible online credit-transfer model.

Signed in March 2025, this collaboration ensures that students completing ACE- and NCCRS-recommended UPI Study courses can seamlessly transfer those credits toward their undergraduate programs at Bottega University, headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah.


A Shared Commitment to Accessible, Career-Focused Learning

Bottega University is recognized for its innovative online education model — one that combines academic rigor with practical, skills-based learning. Its programs in business, computer science, healthcare, and general education emphasize real-world application, flexibility, and professional advancement.

By formally recognizing UPI Study coursework, Bottega reinforces its commitment to creating globally accessible degree options for adult learners, international students, and working professionals.

Through this partnership, students can complete transferable college credits at UPI Study for as little as $99 per month, significantly reducing their total tuition cost while keeping academic quality intact.


How It Works

Students begin their studies with UPI Study’s accredited online courses, which are reviewed and recommended for college credit by the American Council on Education (ACE) and the National College Credit Recommendation Service (NCCRS).

Once completed, students receive an official transcript that can be sent directly to Bottega University. These credits are then applied toward degree requirements, following the institution’s approved equivalency structure outlined in the articulation agreement.

The process ensures transparency, efficiency, and academic consistency between both institutions.
