About this course

Understanding Programming in Python for your UAG credit.

What is Programming in Python?

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.

How the course teaches you

Programming in Python is a self-paced online course built around video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam. The grading breakdown is 20% Quizzes, 30% Assignments, and 50% Final Exam, so the work is spread across the course rather than concentrated in one part. When you complete it, the transcript reflects the credit that University of Arkansas Grantham recognizes as CS192 – Programming Essentials.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The Python skills in this course support practical problem-solving, data handling, and structured thinking that can be useful in day-to-day work. At University of Arkansas Grantham, that credit can fit into degree paths such as the Associate of Applied Science or Bachelor of Business Administration, where CS192 – Programming Essentials may help move a student forward in the plan. For students trying to keep transfer efficient, the named equivalency gives a clear place for the course in the UAG record.

Skills you walk away with

Write Python programs using correct syntaxUse variables, data types, and type conversionBuild decisions with if/else and conditional expressionsCreate loops with while, for, and nested structuresDefine and use functions with proper scopeWork with lists, tuples, and dictionariesUse modules, basic search, sorting, and recursion

Taking this course toward UAG

After you finish the course, the transcript is sent for review and University of Arkansas Grantham applies the credit course-by-course if the work matches CS192 – Programming Essentials and the grade requirement is met. Because this is a named course equivalency, it is the strongest form of transfer recognition and gives a specific place for the credit in a UAG degree plan. UAG accepts up to 90 transfer credits, or 75% of a program, so students should still check how this course fits alongside the rest of their requirements. That matters whether the credit is being used in an Associate of Applied Science or a Bachelor of Business Administration.

Who this course is for

This course is a good fit for students who want a clear transfer outcome to University of Arkansas Grantham and need a course that maps directly to CS192 – Programming Essentials. It can also make sense for people who are balancing school with work and want to stay mindful of UAG’s 90-credit transfer ceiling. It is not the best choice for someone looking for broad elective transfer without a specific UAG course match or for a student who does not plan to use the credit at UAG.
