Community College Transfer
We've helped students like you transfer in credits and earn their degree faster by accepting college credits from over 5,000+ accredited institutions. In most cases we can request your transcripts for you, for free. When you transfer, you’ll lock-in tuition at our special rate until you earn your bachelor’s degree. Ask an enrollment advisor if you have transfer, program or tuition questions.
Concurrent Enrollment Program (CEP)
Want to keep your momentum going during community college breaks? If you plan to complete a bachelor's degree from UOPX, complete up to 4 bachelor's courses during breaks and before transferring from community college.
You may be eligible for CEP if you plan on enrolling in one of the bachelor's degree programs:
- Bachelor of Science in Healthcare Management
- Bachelor of Science in Management
- Bachelor of Science in Information Technology
- RN to Bachelor of Science in Nursing
Tuition is based on number of credit hours per course. Courses are typically 3 credits but can range from 1-6 credits. Costs do not include savings opportunities like transfer credits and scholarships.
RN to BSN
Prepare to enhance your nursing practice, faster. Courses in the Nursing program are 5 weeks long. Equip yourself with professional, post-licensure nursing skills while balancing the demands of work and life.
If you transfer an Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) you may complete this program in 14 months. At the time of official evaluation students will be awarded 87 total credits from their ADN and valid unrestricted/unencumbered RN license. RNs without an ADN transfer will be awarded 40 total credits and may complete their degree in 2.5 years.

That’s a big savings. You also lock-in a $144 tuition reduction on every 3-credit bachelor’s degree class.
