Fundamentals of Information Technology is an introduction to how computer systems support business work. It covers the basic parts of information systems, hardware and software, data and databases, networks, security, and how IT helps organizations make decisions and run processes. The course gives students a broad view of how computers, data, and business needs fit together.
Fundamentals of Information Technology is delivered as a self-paced online course with video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam. The grade is based on 20% quizzes, 30% assignments, and 50% final exam, so students are expected to show steady progress as they move through the material. After completion, the transcript credit can be sent to Newlane University, where it is recognized as Elective credit.
This course helps students understand how computers, data, and business processes connect, which is useful in many settings that value broad problem-solving skills. At Newlane, the credit applies as Elective toward programs such as the Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts or the Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy, where it can help build out total credit hours. For students working within Newlane's competency-based, transfer-friendly model, that elective space can support degree progress without needing a course tied to a single major requirement.
After you finish the course, the transcript is sent for review and Newlane University applies the credit as Elective. That means the course counts toward total credit hours and elective requirements in a Newlane degree plan, rather than replacing a specific major course. This can be useful in programs like the Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts or the Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy, where elective space may help you keep moving. Newlane accepts up to 90 transfer credits, which is the ceiling to keep in mind when planning the rest of your degree.
This course is a practical option for students who want to move credit toward Newlane while keeping their choices open, especially if they are working toward a degree with room for Elective credit. It can fit students who need a transfer-friendly course that counts within Newlane's limit of up to 90 transfer credits, or up to 75% of a bachelor's degree. It is not the best fit for someone who needs a direct major-specific requirement at Newlane, since this course transfers as Elective rather than a program requirement.
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.
