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.
Current Trends in Computer Science and IT is a broad introduction to how modern information technology is used in organizations. It covers both the technical side, such as databases, SQL, application design, and data analytics, and the managerial side, such as IT leadership, decision support systems, and how technology supports business strategy. The course also introduces newer areas like artificial intelligence, machine learning, IoT, big data, and blockchain, with attention to their practical uses and limitations.
Current Trends in Computer Science and IT is a 3-credit course with video-based instruction, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam, and its grading is split evenly across Attendance, Quizzes, Assignments, and the Final Exam at 25% each. When you finish and send an official transcript to Nexford University, the course is reviewed as a Technology Elective, so the credit can be applied as elective credit in a Nexford degree plan.
The course builds practical understanding of databases, SQL, data analytics, IT leadership, and emerging tools such as AI, IoT, big data, and blockchain, which can help you read technology decisions more clearly at work. At Nexford, that learning can support progress in programs such as the Associate of Applied Science or Bachelor of Business Administration, where Technology Elective credit helps move you closer to the total credits needed for graduation.
After you complete the course, your transcript is sent to Nexford University for review. Nexford’s registrar applies the credit as Technology Elective, which means it counts toward total credit hours and elective requirements in an eligible program rather than replacing a required major course. Nexford is DEAC-accredited and offers a free, no-obligation transfer credit evaluation, and its policy allows up to 90 transfer credits, or 75% of an undergraduate program. That ceiling matters when planning an Associate of Applied Science or Bachelor of Business Administration path, because you still need enough Nexford coursework to finish the remaining degree requirements.
This course is a good fit if you want to bring prior learning into a Nexford program and use a Technology Elective to help meet degree requirements without taking an extra elective later. It is often useful for adults balancing work and school, students finishing a degree, or people shifting into a new field who want broadly applicable computer science and IT knowledge. It is not the best choice if you need a highly specialized technical course for a specific major requirement, since Nexford recognizes it as an elective rather than a core course.
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.
