🎯 About CS325 – Data Structures at UAG
Does University of Arkansas Grantham accept Data Structure and Algorithms as a direct equivalent to their CS325 – Data Structures?
Yes. Under the formal Articulation Agreement between UPI Study and University of Arkansas Grantham, UPI Study's Data Structure and Algorithms is recognized as a direct named equivalent of UAG's CS325 – Data Structures — not just elective or GE bucket credit. This is the strongest form of transfer recognition.
Will this transfer with full named-course credit, or just as elective?
Full named-course credit. The MOU specifically lists Data Structure and Algorithms as transferring as CS325 – Data Structures — meaning it satisfies that specific course requirement on your UAG transcript, not a generic elective slot.
What if I've already taken CS325 – Data Structures at UAG or elsewhere?
If you've already received credit for CS325 – Data Structures, UAG typically applies UPI Study's Data Structure and Algorithms as elective credit instead (at the registrar's discretion). Check with your UAG advisor before enrolling to confirm placement.
How does this compare to taking CS325 – Data Structures directly at UAG?
The credit value is identical: 3 credits toward your UAG degree. UPI Study's course is self-paced and online ($89/month or $250 one-time), while UAG's subscription is $39/month — but UPI Study lets you finish faster and start without UAG enrollment. Many students complete UPI Study courses BEFORE enrolling at UAG to reduce overall program time.
Does University of Arkansas Grantham ever change which courses they accept as CS325 – Data Structures?
Equivalencies are reviewed periodically. The current Articulation Agreement between UPI Study and University of Arkansas Grantham explicitly lists Data Structure and Algorithms → CS325 – Data Structures. We update this page whenever the MOU changes. If you've already completed the course and earned an NCCRS-recommended transcript, your credit recognition is generally honored even if future versions of the MOU change.
🔄 About transferring to UAG

How does the transcript reach UAG?
Once you complete Data Structure and Algorithms, UPI Study sends an official transcript in PDF format directly to the email address designated by University of Arkansas Grantham. UAG's registrar applies the agreed equivalency (CS325 – Data Structures) to your transcript. No third-party services are involved.
About this course

Understanding Data Structure and Algorithms for your UAG credit.

What is Data Structure and Algorithms?

Data Structure and Algorithms is the study of how to organize data in a computer and how to solve problems efficiently with that data. In this course, you learn Java programming along with tools like arrays, linked lists, trees, queues, stacks, and hash tables, then use them to write and analyze algorithms. The subject also includes Big-O notation, which helps you compare how fast or memory-heavy different solutions are.

How the course teaches you

This self-paced online course uses video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam, with grading split across 20% quizzes, 30% assignment work, and 50% the final exam. As you complete the course, the transcript record can be sent to University of Arkansas Grantham, where it is recognized as CS325 – Data Structures, a named course equivalency rather than a general elective. That matters because UAG can place the credit directly into the course line that matches its catalog.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The material in Data Structure and Algorithms builds practical programming habits: organizing data, debugging Java code, and choosing efficient approaches with structures like arrays, linked lists, trees, queues, stacks, and hash tables. At University of Arkansas Grantham, that preparation can support degree progress in programs such as the Associate of Applied Science or Bachelor of Business Administration when CS325 – Data Structures fits your plan. For students balancing work and school, having a clearly identified UAG course match can make the credit easier to use toward graduation.

Skills you walk away with

Taking this course toward UAG

After you finish, your transcript is sent for review and UAG applies the credit course-by-course. Because this course has a named equivalency, UAG can record it as CS325 – Data Structures rather than leaving it as an unspecified transfer course. That gives the credit a specific place in your UAG degree plan, including programs such as the Associate of Applied Science or Bachelor of Business Administration. UAG still observes its overall transfer ceiling of 90 credits, so this course should be considered as one part of your total transfer strategy.

Who this course is for

This course is a good fit for students who want to earn transferable computer science credit with a clear destination at University of Arkansas Grantham, especially if they need CS325 – Data Structures to move a degree plan forward. It is also useful for students who are watching transfer limits, since UAG accepts up to 90 credits, or 75%, and awards credit course-by-course for equivalent coursework with a grade of C or better. It is not the right choice for someone who needs a broad, nontechnical elective or who is not prepared for Java programming, algorithms, and exam-based assessment.
