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.
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.
Programming in Python is a self-paced online course with video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam. The grading is 20% Quizzes, 30% Assignments, and 50% Final Exam, so students are assessed through a mix of practice and cumulative testing. When the course is completed and appears on the transcript, Nexford recognizes it as a Technology Elective, which means it can be applied as elective credit in a Nexford degree plan.
This course helps students build practical Python skills for tasks such as working with data, making decisions in code, and organizing programs, which can be useful in many work settings. At Nexford, that learning can count toward elective requirements in programs such as the Associate of Applied Science and the Bachelor of Business Administration. For students trying to keep their credits moving toward a Nexford degree, that elective placement can reduce the number of courses still needed.
After you finish the course, the transcript is sent for review and Nexford applies the credit according to its transfer rules. At Nexford, this course is recognized as a Technology Elective, so it counts toward total credit hours and elective requirements rather than a required major course. That can help you progress in a Nexford program such as the Associate of Applied Science or the Bachelor of Business Administration while staying within the 90-credit transfer ceiling. Nexford is DEAC-accredited and offers a free, no-obligation transfer credit evaluation before you commit.
This course is a good fit for students who want to bring a computer science elective into a Nexford program and use the transfer policy efficiently. It may suit adults finishing a degree, students changing direction, or anyone who wants a lower-cost way to earn credit before transferring, especially since Nexford accepts up to 90 credits, or 75% of an undergraduate program. It is not the right choice for someone who needs a direct major-specific course rather than an elective recognized as Technology 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.
