Introduction to Java is a first course in computer programming using the Java language. It teaches you how to write simple programs, use variables and data types, make decisions with conditionals, repeat tasks with loops, and organize code into functions and classes. It also introduces basic problem solving, arrays, input and output, and the foundations of object-oriented programming.
Introduction to Java (Computer Science 210) is a 3-credit course built around attendance, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam, each worth 25% of the grade. The course introduces Java syntax, variables, conditionals, loops, arrays, functions, classes, and object-oriented programming, so the transcript reflects completed college-level work that Columbia Southern University recognizes as Open Electives. At CSU, that elective credit can be applied toward total credit hours and elective requirements.
The course gives you practical programming skills you can use to understand basic software tasks, problem solving, and structured thinking, which can be useful in many settings. For Columbia Southern University students in programs such as an Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science, the credit lands as Open Electives, so it helps move a degree plan forward even when the course is not used as a major requirement. That can matter if you want to build a broader academic record while staying within CSU's transfer rules.
After you finish the course, the transcript is sent for review and Columbia Southern University applies it as Open Electives. At CSU, that means the course counts toward elective requirements and total credit hours in degree plans such as the Associate of Science and Bachelor of Science. CSU allows up to 90 transferred credits, which is 75% of the degree. If you are planning several transfers, this elective recognition still helps, but it should be checked against the rest of your CSU program plan so you stay within the transfer limit.
This course is a good fit for students planning to bring credits to Columbia Southern University and who want an elective that can count toward CSU's Open Electives category. It may suit degree-completion students, working adults, or students exploring a technical subject without needing it to fill a specific major course. It is not the best choice if you need a course that transfers as a direct major requirement rather than an elective, or if you are already near CSU's 90-credit transfer ceiling.

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.
Enroll for $250 (or use a UPI Study subscription), finish in 28–30 days, and transfer 3 credits to Columbia Southern University.
