About this course

Understanding Computer Concepts and Applications for your UAG credit.

What is Computer Concepts and Applications?

Computer Concepts and Applications is an introduction to how computers work, how people use them, and how technology affects everyday life and work. It covers the basic parts of a computer system, operating systems, files, networks, the Internet, online communication, and common security concerns. The course also introduces broader ideas such as the social and ethical effects of technology and how computers are used in different workplaces.

How the course teaches you

You work through the course online at your own pace, using video lessons, quizzes, an assignment, and a final exam. Attendance, quizzes, assignments, and the final exam each count for 25% of the grade. Completing the course with a C or better produces transcript credit that UAG recognizes as CS105 – Introduction to Computer Applications (credit for only one of Current Trends in Computer Science and IT and Computer Concepts and Applications).

How it helps beyond the classroom

The course covers how hardware, operating systems, files, networks, and online security work together, and that background helps in day-to-day computer use at work and at home. At UAG, the resulting CS105 credit serves as an introductory computing credit for students working toward the Bachelor of Science in Computer Science or the Bachelor of Business Administration. Students who understand how systems and information technology fit into an organization are better prepared for the technical and business courses that follow.

Skills you walk away with

Identify computer hardware components and their functionsUse basic troubleshooting steps for hardware, software, and network issuesOrganize, store, and manage files effectivelyExplain how operating systems, browsers, and search engines workRecognize common Internet security threats and basic protection methodsPractice professional online communication and etiquetteCompare different types of computer systems and their uses

Taking this course toward UAG

After you finish, your transcript is sent to UAG, and the registrar applies CS105 – Introduction to Computer Applications (credit for only one of Current Trends in Computer Science and IT and Computer Concepts and Applications) to your record. Because this is a named course equivalency, the credit maps to a specific UAG course code, which gives you a clear, documented place in your degree plan. Transfer credit at UAG is capped at 90 credits (75%), so this course counts toward that limit, and capstone courses must still be taken at UAG. Confirm how the credit fits your specific program with a UAG academic advisor before you enroll.

Who this course is for

This course suits working adults who want to finish a UAG degree without repeating introductory material, degree-finishers who need one more computing credit, and cost-conscious students, since UAG charges $305 per credit and a transferred 3-credit course removes that cost from the plan. Anyone who has already taken Current Trends in Computer Science and IT should know that only one of the two counts toward CS105, so taking both adds no additional credit. It is not the right choice for students who need a course completed at UAG itself, such as a capstone, or for students who cannot earn a C or better, since that grade is required for transfer.
