Savings estimate compares Post University's $629/credit online undergraduate rate against UPI Study course pricing. Post requires a 73% grade to accept a UPI course; UPI credit applies to General Education requirements only (not Major, Core, Concentration, or Minor). Maximum UPI transfer: 15 credits into an associate's, 30 into a bachelor's. Final credit awards are determined solely by Post University's registrar.
Data Structure and Algorithms is the study of how to organize data in a computer and how to solve problems efficiently with that data. In this course, you learn Java programming along with tools like arrays, linked lists, trees, queues, stacks, and hash tables, then use them to write and analyze algorithms. The subject also includes Big-O notation, which helps you compare how fast or memory-heavy different solutions are.
Data Structure and Algorithms is a self-paced online course built around video lessons, quizzes, one assignment, and a final exam, with grading weighted at 20% quizzes, 30% assignment, and 50% final exam. As you work through Java, arrays, linked lists, trees, queues, stacks, hash tables, and Big-O notation, you build the transcript record that Post University can review. When the course is completed with a 73% (C) or better, Post can apply it as CIS 1XX – CIS Elective.
The course develops practical Java and algorithm skills that help with programming tasks, debugging, and evaluating efficient solutions in technical work. At Post, the credit is recognized as CIS 1XX – CIS Elective, so it can support degree progress in programs such as the Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science by filling elective space. That makes it useful when you need a transferable course that still fits into a broader academic plan.
After you finish the course, the transcript is sent for review and Post University applies it as CIS 1XX – CIS Elective if the grade is 73% (C) or better. That elective recognition means the credit counts toward total credit hours and elective requirements in a Post degree plan, rather than replacing a specific required course. Post is an active transfer partner of UPI Study and accepts ACE- and NCCRS-recommended courses, but the total transfer limit is up to 30 credits, or 25% of the degree. For students in programs like the Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science, that can help move the plan forward without exceeding Post’s transfer ceiling.
This course is a good fit for students planning ahead to Post University who want a CIS elective rather than a direct major-course match. It can work well for people who need flexible transfer credit and want to stay within Post’s limit of up to 30 transferable credits, or for students building toward an Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science. It is not the best choice if you need a course to satisfy a specific required Post major course instead of an elective.
Post University is NECHE-accredited and accepts UPI Study's ACE & NCCRS-recommended courses for General Education transfer credit. A 73% (C) grade or better is required for a course to transfer.
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 Post University.
