Introduction to Networking is a course about how computers and other devices connect, communicate, and share data. It covers the basic ideas behind networks such as LANs, WANs, WLANs, and VPNs, along with the standards and protocols that let information move reliably across them. You also learn how the Internet works at a basic level, including IP addressing, DNS, routing, and the OSI and TCP/IP models.
Introduction to Networking is typically completed as a structured online course with video-based instruction, quizzes, assignments, attendance, and a final exam weighted 25% each. When you finish and send the transcript for review, Nexford University can recognize the course as a Technology Elective, which means the credit counts toward total credit hours and elective requirements in an eligible degree plan.
The course gives you a practical foundation in how networks, IP addressing, DNS, routing, and the Internet fit together, which is useful in many work settings where digital systems depend on reliable communication. At Nexford, that credit can support programs such as the Associate of Applied Science or Bachelor of Business Administration by filling a Technology Elective slot instead of leaving you with an unmet requirement.
After you complete Introduction to Networking, your transcript is sent to Nexford University for evaluation. Nexford’s registrar applies the course as a Technology Elective when it fits the transfer review, and that designation means it can count toward elective requirements in the degree plan. Nexford is DEAC-accredited and offers a free, no-obligation transfer credit evaluation, so you can confirm how the course applies before enrolling further. Even with transfer credit, the university’s ceiling remains up to 90 credits, or 75% of an undergraduate program.
This course is a good fit if you want to move credit toward Nexford and need an elective that can be applied within the university’s transfer rules, including the limit of up to 90 credits or 75% of an undergraduate program. It is especially useful for students who want a broadly applicable technology course rather than a major-specific class. It is not the best choice if you need a course that is already tied to a required major course at Nexford 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.
