Savings estimate = credits × $475, DSU's undergraduate rate of $1,425 per 3-credit course (2026-2027 Academic Catalog). Under the articulation agreement DSU does not charge tuition for the UPI Study courses it recognizes as credit. Credit awards are subject to DSU's registrar review and policy.
Database Programming is the study of how information is stored, organized, and retrieved in database systems. In this course, students learn SQL and database design principles so they can create tables, add and update data, and write queries that answer real questions from stored data. It also covers how to keep databases accurate, efficient, and secure.
The course is self-paced and online, built from video lessons, quizzes, an assignment component, and a final exam. Your grade is weighted evenly across four parts: 25% Attendance, 25% Quizzes, 25% Assignments, and 25% Final Exam. When you complete it and the transcript credit posts, that 3-credit record is what Dunlap-Stone University recognizes as General Education Technology.
Writing SQL to create tables, add and change records, and pull answers from stored data is a practical skill in many office and analysis roles. At DSU, the credit satisfies a general-education requirement, so it counts toward degree work in programs such as the Associate of Arts: Business Administration, the Bachelor of Business Administration, or the Bachelor of Arts: Psychology. Students in those programs who can read and query a database are better prepared to work with the records their jobs depend on.
After you finish, UPI Study sends your transcript to Dunlap-Stone University, and DSU's registrar reviews it and applies General Education Technology to your record. That recognition means the credit fills a general-education requirement in your DSU degree plan, so you will not need to take a separate gen-ed technology course. The 3 credits count toward the transfer maximum of 90 credits, which is 75% of the degree. Check your degree audit after the credit posts to confirm how it appears in your program.
This course suits working adults who want a technology gen-ed requirement finished without paying DSU's $475 per-credit rate for it, degree-finishers who need one remaining general-education slot, and career changers who want a first look at data work. It is less suitable for students who need a course that counts toward a specific major's core requirements, since DSU recognizes this one as general education, not as a major course. It also asks for steady self-directed pacing, so students who need live instruction or a fixed weekly schedule may find it a poor fit. Keep in mind that transfer credit is capped at 90 credits (75%) of a degree, so this course is one of several options to plan around.
Dunlap-Stone University recognizes UPI Study courses for credit in its undergraduate degrees under the signed articulation agreement. Each course below has the DSU course, general education category or elective credit Appendix 1 assigns it.
Transfer credits are never guaranteed. Students must be enrolled at DSU in good standing and meet course and program requirements. DSU is solely responsible for how it recognizes UPI Study courses.
Enroll for $250 (or use a UPI Study subscription), finish in 28–30 days, and transfer 3 credits to Dunlap-Stone University.
