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.
Introduction to Computing is a survey course that explains how computers and software work at a practical level. It covers the main kinds of software people use every day, how operating systems and file systems organize work, how hardware parts fit together, and how data is stored and managed in databases. It also introduces the history of computing and the social effects of new technologies.
At Nexford University, this course can be used as a Technology Elective once the transcript is reviewed and accepted. The course itself is graded through attendance, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam, so the credit you earn is based on documented completion that Nexford can evaluate for transfer toward total credit hours and elective requirements.
For students heading into Nexford programs such as the Associate of Applied Science or Bachelor of Business Administration, this elective can support degree progress while building a practical understanding of software, hardware, databases, and the social effects of technology. Because Nexford recognizes it as a Technology Elective, it can help satisfy elective space in a plan that is moving toward the 90-credit transfer limit.
After you finish Introduction to Computing, the transcript is sent for review and Nexford applies the credit according to its transfer evaluation process. If accepted, Nexford records it as a Technology Elective, which means it counts toward elective requirements and overall credit hours in the degree plan. This matters because Nexford allows up to 90 transfer credits, or 75% of an undergraduate program, so one approved elective can help you move closer to completion without exceeding the transfer ceiling. Nexford also offers a free, no-obligation transfer credit evaluation, which helps you see how this course fits before you enroll in a full program.
This course is a good fit for students who want a transferable computing course that Nexford will treat as a Technology Elective rather than a major-specific requirement. It can work well for people trying to finish an undergraduate program at Nexford while staying within the 75% transfer maximum, especially if they need elective credit in an Associate of Applied Science or Bachelor of Business Administration path. It is not the right choice if you need a course that will count as a required core course at Nexford.
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.
