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.
Programming in C++ is an introduction to how computers follow instructions and how programmers write those instructions in C++. The course covers the basics of programming logic, algorithms, data types, control structures, loops, arrays, strings, and object-oriented programming concepts. It is a good starting point for understanding how software is built and how code is organized to solve problems.
The course is self-paced and online, so you move through video lessons on your own schedule. Your grade is built from quizzes (20%), one assignment (30%), and a final exam (50%), which means the exam carries the most weight. When you complete the course, the credit that appears on your transcript is the credit Dunlap-Stone University recognizes as General Education Technology.
Programming in C++ teaches you to break a problem into ordered steps, write those steps out as pseudocode, and read code to see what it does. Those habits carry over into spreadsheet logic, process design, and data work, which matter in business roles. At DSU, the credit fills a general education requirement in programs such as the Associate of Arts: Business Administration, the Bachelor of Business Administration, and the Bachelor of Arts: Psychology, so you are not spending elective slots on it.
After you finish the course, UPI Study sends your transcript to Dunlap-Stone University. DSU's registrar then applies the General Education Technology equivalency to your record. In your degree plan, that means the course satisfies a general education requirement, so you should confirm the placement against your specific program's requirements in your DSU degree audit. DSU accepts up to 90 credits (75%) in transfer, and this three-credit course counts toward that total along with any other transfer work you bring in.
This course suits working adults who want to finish a degree without a long campus schedule, career changers who need a first look at how software is built, and students who want to keep costs down by earning credit at a lower price than enrolling directly at DSU. Because DSU recognizes it as a general-education equivalency, it is not a substitute for a major-specific course, so check with DSU first if you need it to count toward a particular major requirement. It is also a poor fit if you need a live instructor or in-person lab time to stay on track. Keep in mind that transfer credit is capped at 90 credits.
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.
