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.
Software Engineering is the study of how software is planned, built, tested, and maintained in an organized way. It covers the methods used to turn a problem or set of requirements into a working program, including how teams gather needs, design the system, choose a development process, and check that the result works as intended.
Software Engineering is delivered in a self-paced online format with video lessons, quizzes, an assignment, and a final exam weighted 20% for quizzes, 30% for the assignment, and 50% for the final exam. The course focuses on how software is planned, built, tested, and maintained, so students work through the process of turning requirements into a working program. When the course is completed, the transcript reflects the credit that Post University recognizes as CIS 303 – Software Engineering I.
The skills from Software Engineering are useful in jobs where people need to organize work, follow a process, and check that a product meets requirements. At Post University, this transfer credit can support degree progress in programs such as the Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science, where CIS 303 – Software Engineering I may fit into the plan of study. For students balancing school with work, having a named course equivalency can make it easier to see how the credit applies before they enroll.
After you finish the course, your transcript is sent for review and Post University applies the credit as CIS 303 – Software Engineering I when the course meets its transfer requirements. Because this is a named course equivalency, it gives Post a specific course-to-course match rather than a general elective placement, which can matter when you are building a degree plan. Post accepts up to 30 transfer credits, or 25% of the program, so this course should be considered in the context of your total transfer total. Post University is NECHE-accredited and requires a grade of 73% (C) or better for transfer credit.
This course is a good fit for students planning ahead for Post University who want a clear, named match to CIS 303 – Software Engineering I and need transfer credit that can count within Post's 30-credit maximum. It may suit adults finishing a degree, students changing direction, or anyone who wants to use a course with a specific equivalency in an Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science plan. It is not the best choice for someone who needs a large block of transfer credit beyond Post's limits or who wants a course with a different subject area.
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.
