About this course

Understanding Programming in Python for your Indiana Tech credit.

What is Programming in Python?

Programming in Python is an introduction to writing instructions that a computer can follow. In this course, students learn Python syntax, how to work with data, make decisions with code, repeat tasks with loops, and organize programs with functions and modules. It also covers basic problem-solving ideas used in computer science, such as search, sorting, and recursion.

How the course teaches you

Programming in Python (Computer Science 230) is a 3-credit course built around instruction in Python syntax, data handling, decision-making, loops, functions, modules, and basic computer science ideas such as search, sorting, and recursion. The grade is based on 20% quizzes, 30% assignments, and 50% final exam, so the work is spread across the term rather than tied to one task. When the course is completed and the transcript is sent, Indiana Tech can review it for the named equivalency CS 1300 – Programming in Python.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The skills in this course support problem-solving in settings where you need to organize information, automate steps, or work through a process carefully. At Indiana Tech, the transfer can fit into degree plans such as the Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science, where CS 1300 – Programming in Python is recognized as a specific course in the catalog. That kind of match helps students keep moving through their program with a course that already has a clear place in the curriculum.

Skills you walk away with

Write Python programs using correct syntaxUse variables, data types, and type conversionBuild decisions with if/else and conditional expressionsCreate loops with while, for, and nested structuresDefine and use functions with proper scopeWork with lists, tuples, and dictionariesUse modules, basic search, sorting, and recursion

Taking this course toward Indiana Tech

After you finish the course, your transcript is sent to Indiana Tech for review. Indiana Tech’s registrar can apply it as CS 1300 – Programming in Python, which is a named course equivalency rather than a general elective. That matters because it gives the course a specific place in an Indiana Tech degree plan instead of leaving it open-ended. Indiana Tech accepts up to 90 transfer credits, or 75% of a program, so students should still plan the remaining coursework carefully.

Who this course is for

This course is a good option for students who want a Python class that Indiana Tech will recognize as CS 1300 – Programming in Python, especially if they are planning ahead for an Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science. It may also suit students who want to use transfer credit efficiently, since Indiana Tech allows up to 90 credits, or 75%, to transfer and considers curriculum-related coursework with a grade of C or better. It is not the right choice for someone who needs a different subject area or who expects transfer without meeting Indiana Tech’s credit and grade rules.
