Savings = credits × $136 (Nexford BBA total $16,320 ÷ 120 credits, US/Canada/China region, from Nexford University Catalog 2026). Nexford credit awards are subject to Nexford's transfer credit evaluation per its institutional policies. Rates may vary by region — Group 2 (Finland/Iceland) is $112/cr, Group 3 (Kenya/Egypt/Philippines/Thailand/Indonesia) $74/cr, Group 4 (Nigeria/Ghana) $64/cr.
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 is built around attendance, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam, with each part worth 25% of the grade. The course introduces how computers work, how people use them, and how technology affects everyday life and work, so the transcript reflects learning that Nexford can review for Technology Elective credit. When your transcript is sent to Nexford, the course may be evaluated as an elective that counts toward total credit hours and elective requirements.
The material is useful if you want a clearer understanding of computer systems, operating systems, networks, the Internet, online communication, and common security concerns. At Nexford, that background can support progress in programs such as the Associate of Applied Science or Bachelor of Business Administration, where a Technology Elective can help you move through your degree plan while still staying within the transfer limit.
After you finish the course, your transcript is sent for review and Nexford applies the credit according to its transfer evaluation process. If accepted, Computer Concepts and Applications is recognized as a Technology Elective, which means it counts toward elective requirements and total credit hours in your Nexford degree plan. Nexford is DEAC-accredited and offers a free, no-obligation transfer credit evaluation, with up to 90 credits transferable, or 75% of an undergraduate program. That matters if you are planning ahead for an Associate of Applied Science or Bachelor of Business Administration, because the elective can help fill degree requirements without exceeding the transfer ceiling.
This course makes sense for students who want a general computing course that can transfer as a Technology Elective at Nexford, especially if they are planning around the 90-credit maximum or the 75% transfer cap. It can also fit adults returning to school, students changing programs, or anyone trying to use transfer credit efficiently toward a Nexford degree. It is not the best fit if you need a major-specific computer science course rather than an elective.
Nexford University is DEAC-accredited and offers a free, no-obligation transfer credit evaluation. Its flexible policy lets you transfer up to 75% of an undergraduate program toward your degree.
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 Nexford University.
