🎯 About CS192 – Programming Essentials at UAG
Does University of Arkansas Grantham accept Programming in C as a direct equivalent to their CS192 – Programming Essentials?
Yes. Under the formal Articulation Agreement between UPI Study and University of Arkansas Grantham, UPI Study's Programming in C is recognized as a direct named equivalent of UAG's CS192 – Programming Essentials — 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 Programming in C as transferring as CS192 – Programming Essentials — meaning it satisfies that specific course requirement on your UAG transcript, not a generic elective slot.
What if I've already taken CS192 – Programming Essentials at UAG or elsewhere?

About this course

Understanding Programming in C for your UAG credit.

What is Programming in C?

Programming in C is an introductory computer science course focused on writing programs in the C language, one of the foundational languages used to understand how software works at a low level. Students learn how to build programs with variables, conditions, loops, functions, arrays, pointers, and basic memory management, along with the ANSI C coding standards used in many development environments.

How the course teaches you

Programming in C (Computer Science 240) is a self-paced online course built around video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam, with grading split evenly across Attendance, Quizzes, Assignments, and the Final Exam at 25% each. When you finish, the transcript can be sent to University of Arkansas Grantham, where the course is recognized as CS192 – Programming Essentials, a named course equivalency in the catalog.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The course builds practical programming habits that matter when you need to understand how software behaves, write code carefully, and work through problems methodically. At University of Arkansas Grantham, that credit sits as CS192 – Programming Essentials and can support degree progress in programs such as the Associate of Applied Science or the Bachelor of Business Administration, depending on how it fits the plan.

Skills you walk away with

Write and debug ANSI C programsUse variables, data types, and arithmetic expressionsBuild logic with if/else, switch, and loopsCreate and use functions with proper scope and storageWork with arrays, strings, and character dataUse pointers and manage memory carefullyApply recursion, iteration, and basic data structures

Taking this course toward UAG

After you complete the course, your transcript is sent for review and University of Arkansas Grantham applies the credit as CS192 – Programming Essentials when the coursework matches and the grade requirement is met. Because this is a named course equivalency, it is the strongest form of transfer recognition and gives you a clear place for the credit in your UAG degree plan. UAG awards transfer credit course by course, and the total transfer limit is up to 90 credits, or 75% of a program. That matters when you are planning ahead for an Associate of Applied Science or Bachelor of Business Administration, since each accepted course helps you stay within the overall transfer ceiling.

Who this course is for

This course is a good fit if you want a transfer course that UAG already recognizes by name as CS192 – Programming Essentials and you are working toward a degree where every accepted credit matters. It can help students who are finishing a credential, changing direction, or watching transfer cost closely, especially since UAG allows up to 90 credits, or 75%, to transfer and awards credit course by course for work completed with a grade of C or better. It is not the right choice if you need a broad general-education course rather than a programming course, or if you are not aiming for a program where this specific equivalency helps.
