Current Trends in Computer Science and IT is a broad introduction to how modern information technology is used in organizations. It covers both the technical side, such as databases, SQL, application design, and data analytics, and the managerial side, such as IT leadership, decision support systems, and how technology supports business strategy. The course also introduces newer areas like artificial intelligence, machine learning, IoT, big data, and blockchain, with attention to their practical uses and limitations.
Current Trends in Computer Science and IT is completed as a self-paced online course with video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam. The grade is based on 25% attendance, 25% quizzes, 25% assignments, and 25% final exam, so steady progress matters. When you finish and your transcript is sent to Indiana Tech, the credit can be reviewed as APP EL – Applied Elective.
This course gives you practical exposure to databases, SQL, data analytics, IT leadership, and emerging tools such as AI, machine learning, IoT, big data, and blockchain. At Indiana Tech, that work can support degree progress in programs such as the Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science because APP EL – Applied Elective counts toward total credit hours and elective requirements. In practice, that can help you move through a degree plan with fewer unused credits.
After you complete the course, your transcript is sent for review and Indiana Tech determines how the credit applies. Indiana Tech may award it as APP EL – Applied Elective, which means it counts toward elective requirements and total credit hours in your degree plan. That can be helpful in programs like the Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science when you need room in the schedule for required courses. Indiana Tech accepts transfer credit from regionally and nationally accredited institutions, and the overall transfer ceiling is up to 90 credits.
This course is a good fit if you are planning ahead for Indiana Tech and want credit that can apply as APP EL – Applied Elective rather than a course with a narrow major match. It is often useful for students who need flexible transfer credit and want to stay within Indiana Tech's limit of up to 90 transferable credits. It is not the best choice if you need a very specific course requirement for a major sequence, since this credit is recognized as 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.
