Computer Concepts and Applications is an introduction to how computers work, how people use them, and how technology affects everyday life and work. It covers the basic parts of a computer system, operating systems, files, networks, the Internet, online communication, and common security concerns. The course also introduces broader ideas such as the social and ethical effects of technology and how computers are used in different workplaces.
Computer Concepts and Applications is a 3-credit course with a grading breakdown of 25% Attendance, 25% Quizzes, 25% Assignments, and 25% Final Exam. It introduces computer hardware, operating systems, files, networks, the Internet, online communication, security, and the social and ethical effects of technology, so students build the transcript record Indiana Tech can review for transfer. When the transcript is sent to Indiana Tech, the course is recognized as APP EL – Applied Elective.
The course gives a basic working understanding of how computers and information systems are used in everyday life and in different workplaces, which can help in office, technical, and hybrid roles. At Indiana Tech, the credit comes in as APP EL – Applied Elective, so it can support total credit hours in programs such as Associate of Science and Bachelor of Science without tying the student to a single major requirement.
After completion, the transcript is sent to Indiana Tech for review. Indiana Tech’s registrar applies the course as APP EL – Applied Elective, and because it is elective recognition, it counts toward the student’s total credit hours and elective requirements rather than a specific major course. That can still matter in degree planning for programs like Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science, especially when the student is building toward the 90-credit transfer ceiling. Indiana Tech is HLC-accredited and considers curriculum-related coursework with a grade of C or better for credit.
This course fits students who want a straightforward way to add transferable credit while building general computer knowledge before moving into an Indiana Tech degree. It is a practical choice for students who need elective credit that can apply under Indiana Tech’s transfer limits, which allow up to 90 credits or 75% of a degree to transfer. It is not the best fit for someone expecting direct major-specific credit, since Indiana Tech posts it as APP EL – Applied Elective.
Indiana Institute of Technology (Indiana Tech) is HLC-accredited and accepts transfer credit from both regionally and nationally accredited institutions. Curriculum-related coursework with a grade of C or better is considered for credit.
Transfer credits are never guaranteed. Final credit awards are determined solely by the receiving university's registrar.
Enroll for $250 (or use a UPI Study subscription), finish in 28–30 days, and transfer 3 credits to Indiana Tech.
