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.
Introduction to Computing is delivered as a self-paced online course with video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam. The grade is based on 25% Attendance, 25% Quizzes, 25% Assignments, and 25% Final Exam, so students complete the work in stages rather than all at once. When the course is finished and the transcript is issued, TESU recognizes it as CAP-1700 – Computing Environments.
The course gives practical knowledge of software, hardware, databases, and computing history that can help students make better decisions at work and at home. At TESU, that learning can support progress in programs such as the Associate of Arts and Bachelor of Arts by fitting into a transfer plan as CAP-1700 – Computing Environments. For students trying to keep a degree plan moving, that named equivalency is useful because it is recognized directly in TESU’s catalog.
After you finish the course, the transcript is sent for review and TESU applies the credit as CAP-1700 – Computing Environments. That named recognition means the course is not just counted as generic transfer credit; it maps to a specific TESU course code and can be placed into a degree plan for programs such as the Associate of Arts or Bachelor of Arts. TESU allows up to 90 transfer credits, which is 75% of a degree, so this course can be part of a larger transfer strategy. Because TESU accepts ACE and NCCRS recommendations and has a flexible transfer policy, students often use courses like this to reduce the number of TESU courses they still need to complete.
This course is a good fit for students who want an efficient path to TESU and need a course that comes through as a named equivalency rather than a general elective. It may suit adults returning to school, students finishing a degree, or anyone building toward TESU’s transfer-friendly programs while staying mindful of the 90-credit transfer limit. It is not the best choice for someone who wants an advanced computing course; its role is introductory and focused on transfer to CAP-1700 – Computing Environments.
Thomas Edison State University has one of the most flexible transfer policies in the country and accepts ACE & NCCRS credit recommendations. With a four-year institution's credits, you can fulfill all degree requirements except two required TESU courses.
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 Thomas Edison State University.
