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.
Programming in C is an introductory computer science course focused on writing programs in the C language, one of the foundational languages used to understand how software works at a low level. Students learn how to build programs with variables, conditions, loops, functions, arrays, pointers, and basic memory management, along with the ANSI C coding standards used in many development environments.
The course runs online at your own pace and moves through video lessons, quizzes, programming assignments, and a final exam. Your grade is weighted 25% attendance, 25% quizzes, 25% assignments, and 25% final exam. When you finish with a grade of C or higher, the 3-credit result appears on your transcript, and Strayer University reviews it for recognition as CIS242 – C++ Programming I.
Writing and debugging C programs builds a working understanding of variables, loops, functions, pointers, and memory management, which underlies much of how software operates. Those skills carry into later programming work and into the data structure topics the course covers, including arrays, linked lists, stacks, and queues. Because the credit lands as CIS242 at Strayer, it counts toward the computer science coursework in degree programs such as the Associate in Arts and the Bachelor's degree.
After you complete the course, the transcript is sent to Strayer University, where the registrar reviews it and applies the credit as CIS242 – C++ Programming I. That named equivalency means the credit fills a specific course requirement in your Strayer degree plan rather than simply counting as general credit. Strayer accepts up to 126 quarter hours toward a bachelor's degree from transfer sources, so this course counts within that ceiling. Confirm the final placement with a Strayer academic advisor before you enroll, since the exact application depends on your program requirements.
This course suits adults who already hold some college credit and want to move it toward a Strayer degree without retaking introductory programming. It also fits students who want a named, catalog-level equivalency rather than a general elective, and those watching tuition, since Strayer lists its rate at $518 per credit. Because the credit fills the CIS242 slot specifically, it is a poor choice for anyone who needs C++ instruction in a different course or who has no interest in working through pointers and memory by hand. Students who expect a lighter workload than a standard online course should also plan carefully, since attendance, quizzes, assignments, and the final each carry equal weight.
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.
