Ethics in Technology looks at how computers, data, networks, and digital systems affect people, businesses, and society. It covers both the technical side of cybersecurity and the ethical and legal questions that come with privacy, cybercrime, data use, and emerging technologies like AI and IoT.
Ethics in Technology (Computer Science 195) is a 3-credit course with a defined grading structure: 25% Attendance, 25% Quizzes, 25% Assignments, and 25% Final Exam. The course uses video lessons and assessed work to cover cybersecurity, privacy, cybercrime, data use, and emerging technologies such as AI and IoT. When you complete it and have the transcript issued, Columbia Southern University recognizes the credit as Open Electives.
This course helps you understand how digital systems affect privacy, security, and decision-making, which is useful in any role that works with data, networks, or technology. At Columbia Southern University, that credit applies as Open Electives in programs such as Associate of Science and Bachelor of Science, so it can support overall degree progress even when it does not map to a major requirement.
After you finish the course, the transcript is sent so Columbia Southern University can review it through its transfer process. CSU applies the credit as Open Electives, which means it counts toward total credit hours and elective requirements in the degree plan rather than a specialized course slot. That can help you move forward in programs such as Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science while keeping within CSU's transfer limit of up to 90 credits, or 75% of the degree. CSU's published transfer guidance confirms this elective recognition for UPI Study students.
This is a practical option for students planning to transfer to Columbia Southern University and who want a credit that is accepted as Open Electives rather than a major-specific course. It may suit students who need flexible progress toward CSU's 90-credit transfer ceiling and want to preserve room for required coursework in an Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science plan. It is not the best fit if you need a course that transfers into a specific major requirement at CSU.

Transfer credits are never guaranteed. Transferring credits does not guarantee reduced tuition or number of courses required. Final credit awards are determined by CSU's registrar.
