Upward Online Courses
We've tailored our course offering by State.
Graduate-Level University Courses
Your Upward course price is all-in, covering your instruction AND the University of Massachusetts Global credit fee. Register once and you're done.
Additionally, you'll earn Upward Rewards with every purchase - we're talking $100+ in gift cards, usable at hundreds of US retailers.
3-Credits
Graduate-Level PD Credits from UMass Global, an accredited university
Asynchronous
Designed for the teacher who has more responsibilities than time
Portfolio Free
Focused on implementation, not paperwork
Non-Credit Courses
Enhance your teaching practice without the university price tag. Our non-credit course collection offers the exact same curriculum and expert-led instruction as our credit-bearing versions, but at a significantly reduced rate. These are the equivalent of 45 clock hours without university credit.
Why choose Non-Credit?
- Affordability: Save over 50% compared to university-credit options.
- Flexible PD: Ideal for educators meeting state or district professional development requirements that do not mandate a formal university transcript.
- Instant Verification: Receive an official confirmation of completion via email as soon as you finish, perfect for your professional portfolio.
Note: These courses provide professional growth hours but do not generate a university transcript.
Additionally, you'll earn the same Upward Rewards with every purchase - we're talking $100+ in gift cards, usable at hundreds of US retailers.
