Introduction to Computing is a survey course that explains how computers and software work at a practical level. It covers the main kinds of software people use every day, how operating systems and file systems organize work, how hardware parts fit together, and how data is stored and managed in databases. It also introduces the history of computing and the social effects of new technologies.
Introduction to Computing is taken online through video lessons, with quizzes, assignments, and a final exam that make up the grade: 25% Attendance, 25% Quizzes, 25% Assignments, and 25% Final Exam. When you finish and your transcript is sent to Indiana Tech, the course is recognized there as APP EL – Applied Elective, so it enters the record as elective credit rather than a direct major course.
The course gives practical context for the software, hardware, databases, and systems people use every day, which can help in office work, technical support, and general problem-solving. At Indiana Tech, that credit applies as APP EL – Applied Elective, so it can support degree progress in programs such as the Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science by filling elective space in the plan.
After you complete the course, your transcript is sent to Indiana Tech for review. Indiana Tech applies the course as APP EL – Applied Elective, which means it counts as elective credit toward the degree rather than as a direct equivalent to a required course. That can help move a student closer to completion in programs like the Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science, as long as the overall transfer total stays within Indiana Tech’s limit of up to 90 credits, or 75% of the degree. Indiana Tech is HLC-accredited and considers curriculum-related coursework with a grade of C or better for credit.
This course is a good fit for students who want an elective that can transfer to Indiana Tech and who need a course that counts toward total credit hours without tying them to a specific major requirement. It can work well for students building toward an Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science, especially if they are trying to stay within Indiana Tech’s 90-credit transfer limit. It is not the best choice for someone who needs a course to satisfy a specific program requirement at Indiana Tech rather than an 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.
