About this course

Understanding Programming in Python for your Newlane credit.

What is Programming in Python?

Programming in Python is an introduction to writing instructions that a computer can follow. In this course, students learn Python syntax, how to work with data, make decisions with code, repeat tasks with loops, and organize programs with functions and modules. It also covers basic problem-solving ideas used in computer science, such as search, sorting, and recursion.

How the course teaches you

Programming in Python is a self-paced online course built around video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam, with grading weighted at 20% quizzes, 30% assignments, and 50% final exam. Students work through Python syntax, data handling, decisions, loops, functions, and modules before receiving transcripted credit for Computer Science 230. At Newlane University, that transcript credit is recognized as Quantitative Literacy GE, so it can satisfy a general-education requirement in the degree plan.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The course builds practical problem-solving skills that can help you work with data, automate routine tasks, and understand how code organizes information and decisions. At Newlane, that credit can support programs such as the Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts or the Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy by meeting a Quantitative Literacy GE requirement instead of taking a separate gen-ed course. That can leave more room in your Newlane plan for other required courses, especially since up to 75% of a degree may come from transfer credit.

Skills you walk away with

Write Python programs using correct syntaxUse variables, data types, and type conversionBuild decisions with if/else and conditional expressionsCreate loops with while, for, and nested structuresDefine and use functions with proper scopeWork with lists, tuples, and dictionariesUse modules, basic search, sorting, and recursion

Taking this course toward Newlane

After you finish the course, the transcript is sent to Newlane University for review. Newlane’s registrar applies the credit as Quantitative Literacy GE, which means it can fulfill a general-education slot in your Newlane degree plan rather than sitting as an unassigned elective. That can be useful in programs like the Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts or the Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy, where general-education requirements still matter. Newlane accepts up to 90 transfer credits, so this course can be part of a larger transfer plan as long as you stay within that ceiling and Newlane’s 75% degree-credit limit.

Who this course is for

This course is a good fit if you want a transferable computer science class that also counts toward Newlane’s Quantitative Literacy GE requirement. It may suit students who are finishing a degree, changing fields, or trying to keep transfer costs down, especially because Newlane allows up to 90 credits to transfer and up to 75% of a bachelor’s degree may come from transfer. It is not the best choice if you are looking for an advanced Python course; this is an introduction to programming and problem-solving.
