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 a self-paced online course built around video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam, with grading weighted at 20% Quizzes, 30% Assignments, and 50% Final Exam. Students work through Python syntax, data handling, control flow, functions, modules, and core problem-solving topics such as search, sorting, and recursion. When the course is completed and the transcript is issued, TESU recognizes it as COS-2050 – Python Programming, a named course equivalency in the catalog.
The course builds practical skills in writing and organizing code, which can support work that involves data, automation, or technical problem solving. At TESU, the credit can fit into degree plans such as the Associate of Arts or Bachelor of Arts, where COS-2050 – Python Programming may help satisfy a specific course need rather than remain an elective with no direct match. That kind of named recognition makes it easier to see where the course belongs in a TESU program plan.
After you finish the course, the transcript is sent for TESU review and the registrar applies the credit as COS-2050 – Python Programming. Because this is a named course equivalency, it has a defined place in the TESU catalog and can be used more directly in a degree plan than an unnamed elective. TESU accepts up to 90 transfer credits, or 75% of a degree, so this course should be considered within that overall limit. In programs such as the Associate of Arts or Bachelor of Arts, it can help move a student closer to degree completion while still leaving TESU's remaining requirements in view.
This course is a good fit for students who want a clear transfer path into TESU and need a named course equivalency rather than a general elective. It can also work well for degree-finishers and career changers who want Python on their transcript while staying mindful of TESU's 90-credit transfer limit. It is not the best choice for someone looking for an advanced Python course, because the content is an introduction to programming.
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.
