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.
Introduction to Computing is a survey course that explains how computers and software work at a practical level. It covers the main kinds of software people use every day, how operating systems and file systems organize work, how hardware parts fit together, and how data is stored and managed in databases. It also introduces the history of computing and the social effects of new technologies.
The course is self-paced and online, built from video lessons, quizzes, an assignment, and a final exam. Your grade is weighted equally across attendance, quizzes, assignments, and the final exam at 25% each. Once you finish with a C or higher, your transcript shows the credit, and Strayer recognizes it as CIS106 – Introduction to Information Technology.
Much of the course is practical: working in word processing, presentation tools, and databases, understanding how operating systems and file systems organize work, and seeing how hardware parts fit together. Those skills carry into most office and technical roles. At Strayer, the credit lands as CIS106, so it can serve as an introductory IT course within degree plans such as the Associate in Arts or the Bachelor's degree.
After you complete the course, your transcript is sent to Strayer University, and the registrar applies the credit as CIS106 – Introduction to Information Technology. That named recognition places the course in a specific catalog slot in your degree plan, so you can see exactly where it counts. Strayer's 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. Plan your remaining coursework with that 126-credit ceiling in mind, since transfer credit may account for no more than 70% of the degree.
This course suits people finishing a Strayer degree who already have some computing experience and do not want to repeat introductory material, including working adults fitting coursework around a job and students managing tuition at $518 per credit. Because CIS106 is a named equivalency, the credit maps to a specific catalog course, and up to 126 credits can transfer toward a bachelor's degree. It is not the right fit for anyone expecting in-depth programming instruction, since the course is a survey of how software and hardware work.
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.
