Estimate at a full-time pace of 30 credits a year (about 2.5 credits a month); Newlane is self-paced, so your own pace sets the real number. Newlane's tuition is $1,500 per degree however many credits you transfer, so UPI Study credits save you time, not tuition.
Data Structure and Algorithms is the study of how to organize data in a computer and how to solve problems efficiently with that data. In this course, you learn Java programming along with tools like arrays, linked lists, trees, queues, stacks, and hash tables, then use them to write and analyze algorithms. The subject also includes Big-O notation, which helps you compare how fast or memory-heavy different solutions are.
Data Structure and Algorithms (Computer Science 251) is a 3-credit course with video-based instruction, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam weighted at 20% quizzes, 30% assignment, and 50% final exam. Students work through Java programming, data structures, and algorithm analysis at their own pace, then complete the assessments that appear on the transcript. When Newlane University receives that transcript, it recognizes the course as Quantitative Literacy GE.
The course builds practical skills in Java, problem solving, and structured thinking that can be useful in technical work and in everyday decisions that involve comparing options or evaluating tradeoffs. At Newlane, the credit can support degree progress in programs such as the Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts or the Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy because it lands as Quantitative Literacy GE rather than an elective with no gen-ed value.
After you finish the course, the transcript is sent for Newlane's review, and the registrar applies it as Quantitative Literacy GE if it matches the partner agreement. That recognition means the course satisfies a general-education requirement in the Newlane degree plan, which can help you preserve space for the remaining coursework in a program like the Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy or the Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts. Newlane allows up to 90 transfer credits, or 75% of the degree, so this course can count within that ceiling rather than outside it. Because Newlane is competency-based, the credit fits into a progression model built around demonstrated mastery.
This course is a good fit for students who want to move a Newlane degree forward with a transferable gen-ed credit while also learning material with clear computer science content. It may suit degree completers, working adults, and students who want to stay within Newlane's transfer rules, including the limit of up to 90 credits or 75% of the degree from transfer. It is not the best choice for someone who only wants a non-quantitative requirement or who does not need a general-education match at Newlane.
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), study at your own pace with no deadlines, and transfer 3 credits to Newlane University.
