Elective credit fills the elective portion of a Nexford degree — credits required for graduation but not tied to a specific named course or general education category. Every Nexford degree program reserves a portion of total credits for electives, which gives students flexibility to round out their program.
How many elective credits do I need for my Nexford degree?
Nexford's degree programs each define an elective credit minimum within the total (60 credits for the Associate, 120 for the Bachelor's). The specific count varies by program. Check Nexford's current academic catalog for the exact elective credit requirement.

Is elective credit 'worth less' than named course credit?
No — credit is credit toward your Nexford degree. Elective credits count fully toward the 60-credit Associate or 120-credit Bachelor's total. The only difference is they fill the 'elective' bucket on your transcript rather than a specific named course. They have the same weight in graduation requirements.

About this course

Understanding Programming in C for your Nexford credit.

What is Programming in C?

Programming in C is an introductory computer science course focused on writing programs in the C language, one of the foundational languages used to understand how software works at a low level. Students learn how to build programs with variables, conditions, loops, functions, arrays, pointers, and basic memory management, along with the ANSI C coding standards used in many development environments.

How the course teaches you

Programming in C is a 3-credit course built around video-based instruction, quizzes, assignments, attendance, and a final exam, with grading split 25% Attendance, 25% Quizzes, 25% Assignments, and 25% Final Exam. When you complete it, the transcript can be evaluated by Nexford University, where it is recognized as a Technology Elective that counts toward total credit hours and elective requirements.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The course builds practical programming skills in variables, loops, functions, pointers, and basic memory management, which can support technical work and clearer problem-solving in a degree path at Nexford. Because Nexford applies it as a Technology Elective, it can fit into programs such as the Associate of Applied Science or Bachelor of Business Administration as part of the elective portion of the degree plan.

Skills you walk away with

Write and debug ANSI C programsUse variables, data types, and arithmetic expressionsBuild logic with if/else, switch, and loopsCreate and use functions with proper scope and storageWork with arrays, strings, and character dataUse pointers and manage memory carefullyApply recursion, iteration, and basic data structures

Taking this course toward Nexford

After you finish the course, the transcript is sent for Nexford University transfer review, and Nexford’s registrar applies the credit as a Technology Elective if it meets their evaluation. That means the course can count toward elective requirements and total credit hours in a Nexford program rather than replacing a required major course. Nexford allows up to 90 transfer credits, which is 75% of an undergraduate program, so this course can help you move closer to degree completion within that limit. Nexford also offers a free, no-obligation transfer credit evaluation, which helps you see how this elective may fit before you enroll.

Who this course is for

This course is a good fit for students who want to bring a computer science elective into a Nexford degree plan and use transfer credit toward the 90-credit maximum. It may suit people who need flexibility and want an elective that Nexford will place as Technology Elective, but it is not the best choice for someone looking for a course that transfers as a major requirement rather than an elective.
