In a continued effort to make higher education more accessible and affordable worldwide, UPI Study has officially partnered with the University of Arkansas Grantham (UAG) through a new articulation agreement signed in November 2025.

This collaboration creates a structured pathway for students to transfer ACE- and NCCRS-recommended UPI Study coursework directly into UAG’s accredited degree programs — offering global learners the opportunity to earn a recognized U.S. degree with reduced cost and greater flexibility.


A Shared Vision for Accessible Higher Education

University of Arkansas Grantham (UAG), based in Little Rock, Arkansas, is a member of the University of Arkansas System and has a longstanding reputation for providing flexible, affordable, and career-relevant online degree programs.

By partnering with UPI Study, UAG reaffirms its mission to support learners everywhere — especially adult, military, and international students — through innovative transfer pathways that honor prior learning and accredited online coursework.

This agreement allows students to complete college-level courses through UPI Study, which are evaluated by the American Council on Education (ACE) and the National College Credit Recommendation Service (NCCRS), and then transfer those credits seamlessly into UAG’s undergraduate degree programs.


How the Partnership Works

Students begin their studies with UPI Study’s flexible, online courses, earning ACE- or NCCRS-approved credits. Once completed, official UPI Study transcripts are sent directly to UAG for evaluation and application toward degree requirements.

The agreement outlines a clear process for recognition, ensuring transparency and academic integrity on both sides. Each institution retains its accreditation standards while working together to simplify the credit transfer processUPI-UAG Signed (1).

This partnership offers students the ability to:

  • Transfer up to 90 credits toward a bachelor’s degree at UAG.

  • Save thousands in tuition costs by completing foundational coursework with UPI Study.
