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 (Computer Science 150) is a 3-credit course with 25% Attendance, 25% Quizzes, 25% Assignments, and 25% Final Exam. The course covers computer systems, operating systems, files, networks, the Internet, online communication, security, and the social and ethical effects of technology, so the transcript reflects completed college-level work. At Newlane University, that transcript is recognized as Elective credit, which counts toward total credit hours and elective requirements.
The material is useful for everyday technology use and for understanding how computers affect different workplaces, from basic hardware and software use to online communication and security. At Newlane, that Elective credit can support degree progress in programs such as the Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts or the Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy by helping you move through the credit requirements that apply to your plan. It is especially practical if you want a broad college credit that still fits into a Newlane degree path.
After you complete the course, your transcript is sent for review and Newlane University applies it as Elective credit. That means the credit counts in your degree plan at Newlane as part of the elective portion and toward total credit hours, rather than as a direct course match. Newlane allows up to 90 transfer credits, or 75% of the degree, so this course can help you make progress within that limit. Because Newlane is competency-based and DEAC-accredited, the credit works within a model where you advance by meeting degree requirements, not by seat time alone.
This course is a good fit for students who want transferable college credit that Newlane will apply as Elective, especially if they are working toward the 90-credit transfer maximum or trying to finish a degree efficiently. It may also suit students who want a general technology course that can sit inside a Newlane program without needing a major-specific match. It is not the best choice if you need a course that transfers as a required major course rather than elective credit.
Newlane University is DEAC-accredited and competency-based — you progress by demonstrating mastery. Tuition is a flat $1,500 per degree ($3,000 for a full bachelor's without an associate degree), and up to 75% of degree credit can come from transfer.
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 Newlane University.
