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.
Programming in C++ is an introduction to how computers follow instructions and how programmers write those instructions in C++. The course covers the basics of programming logic, algorithms, data types, control structures, loops, arrays, strings, and object-oriented programming concepts. It is a good starting point for understanding how software is built and how code is organized to solve problems.
Programming in C++ is a 3-credit course with video-based instruction, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam, weighted 20% for quizzes, 30% for the assignment, and 50% for the final exam. It introduces programming logic, algorithms, data types, control structures, loops, arrays, strings, and object-oriented programming in C++. When you complete the course, the transcripted credit can be reviewed by Newlane University and recognized as Quantitative Literacy GE, which satisfies a general-education requirement there.
The course builds practical problem-solving habits that can help you understand how software is organized and how instructions are translated into working code. That kind of background is useful in everyday work that involves structured thinking, troubleshooting, or handling data, and it can also support progress in Newlane programs such as the Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts or the Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy. Because Newlane is competency-based and accepts transfer credit within its degree plan, this course may help you move through general-education requirements more efficiently.
After you finish the course, your transcript is sent for review so Newlane University can evaluate the credit. Newlane’s registrar applies it as Quantitative Literacy GE, which means it counts toward a general-education requirement in the degree plan rather than sitting as an unassigned elective. That can be helpful in programs such as the Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts or the Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy, where transfer credit can be used within the 75% transfer-credit limit. Newlane accepts up to 90 credits total from transfer, so this course can be part of a larger transfer strategy without exceeding that ceiling.
This course is a good fit for students who want to earn transferable general-education credit for Newlane while also learning an introduction to programming. It may appeal to people returning to school, finishing a degree, or looking for a lower-cost way to complete part of a Newlane plan, especially since Newlane allows up to 90 transfer credits and recognizes this course as Quantitative Literacy GE. It is not the best choice for someone who only wants an easy elective with no interest in basic programming concepts, algorithms, or C++.
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.
