Savings = semester credits × $518: Strayer's $1,555 undergraduate tuition per course (strayer.edu, 13 Oct 2026) divided by the 3 semester hours one Strayer course equals. Strayer makes the final credit award.
Database Programming is the study of how information is stored, organized, and retrieved in database systems. In this course, students learn SQL and database design principles so they can create tables, add and update data, and write queries that answer real questions from stored data. It also covers how to keep databases accurate, efficient, and secure.
Database Programming is a self-paced online course built around video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam. Your grade is weighted 25% attendance, 25% quizzes, 25% assignments, and 25% final exam, so steady work across every component matters. When you complete the course with a grade of C or higher, the resulting transcript credit is what Strayer reviews and recognizes as CIS376 – SQL Programming.
The course teaches you to design database schemas, write queries that pull answers from stored data, and protect that data through security measures such as encryption and SQL injection prevention. These are practical skills for many office, analytics, and technical roles that depend on reliable data. At Strayer, the credit appears as CIS376 – SQL Programming, so it counts as a named course within programs such as the Associate in Arts or a bachelor's degree.
After you finish the course, your official transcript needs to be sent to Strayer so its registrar can review it. Strayer's registrar then applies the credit as CIS376 – SQL Programming, a named equivalency, which places the credit in the catalog under a specific course code. Students should check how that course fits into their own degree plan, since the equivalency counts toward the program requirements it matches. Strayer accepts up to 126 quarter hours of transfer credit toward a bachelor's degree, so that is the ceiling for all transferred work combined, and only credit with a grade of C or higher is eligible.
This course suits adults who are returning to finish a degree and want a SQL course that already has a named Strayer equivalent. It also fits students who want to lower the number of Strayer courses they need to take, since transfer credit can reduce tuition at the Strayer rate of $518 per credit. Because transfer credit can cover up to 126 quarter hours, most of a degree may come from outside coursework, but a Strayer degree still requires its own residency and remaining courses. It is not a fit for anyone who needs a grade below C to count, or for students who want an in-depth, multi-course database sequence before starting a Strayer program.
Strayer University signed an articulation agreement with UPI Study (effective 15 June 2025). Its 2026-2027 catalog accepts credit reviewed by ACE and NCCRS, with a grade of C or higher, up to 126 quarter hours toward a bachelor's degree.
Transfer credits are never guaranteed. Strayer determines, in its sole discretion, which credits qualify under the agreement and its transfer credit policies.
Enroll for $250 (or use a UPI Study subscription), finish in 28–30 days, and transfer 3 credits to Strayer University.
