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 Python is an introduction to writing instructions that a computer can follow. In this course, students learn Python syntax, how to work with data, make decisions with code, repeat tasks with loops, and organize programs with functions and modules. It also covers basic problem-solving ideas used in computer science, such as search, sorting, and recursion.
Programming in Python is delivered as a self-paced online course built around video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam. Quizzes count for 20% of the grade, assignments for 30%, and the final exam for 50%, so the exam carries the most weight. Students who complete the course with a grade of C or higher receive transcript credit that Strayer recognizes as CIS363 – Python Programming for Artificial Intelligence.
The course teaches Python syntax, data handling, decision and loop structures, functions, modules, and basic algorithms such as search, sorting, and recursion. These skills apply to scripting routine tasks, working with data, and reading code written by others in technical roles. At Strayer, the credit can count toward an Associate in Arts or a Bachelor's degree, so the skills and the degree progress arrive together.
After you finish the course, the completed transcript is sent to Strayer University. Strayer's registrar reviews the credit and applies it as CIS363 – Python Programming for Artificial Intelligence, a named course equivalency in the catalog, which means it appears as a specific course code rather than as general elective credit. Under the 2026-2027 catalog, Strayer accepts credit reviewed by ACE and NCCRS with a grade of C or higher, up to 126 quarter hours toward a bachelor's degree. Confirm with your Strayer academic advisor how this equivalency fits your specific program before you enroll.
This course suits people who want a Strayer credit at a lower cost than a traditional classroom course, including adults balancing work and family, students finishing a degree, and those considering a move into technical work. Because Strayer recognizes the course by name as CIS363 and allows up to 126 credits (70%) to transfer, it can fill a meaningful share of a degree plan. It is not a good fit for anyone who needs live instruction or who expects a course that requires no programming practice, since the grade depends heavily on the final exam and assignments.
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.
