Savings = credits × $390 (UMT's published tuition per credit hour; $250 for military, veteran and first-responder students; umtweb.edu, 13 Oct 2026). Actual savings vary by program and your UPI Study plan.
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.
The course runs online at your own pace. You work through lessons, complete quizzes and one assignment, and then sit a final exam, with grades weighted 20% Quizzes, 30% Assignment, and 50% Final Exam, so the exam carries the most weight. Once you pass, the course produces a 3-credit entry on your transcript, and that entry is what UMT recognizes as CST 415 – Data Structures.
The course teaches you how to organize data in a program and choose a method that runs efficiently, using arrays, linked lists, trees, queues, stacks, and hash tables, along with Big-O notation for comparing speed and memory use. Those skills show up in data-heavy business work such as reporting, systems analysis, and software-driven operations. At UMT, the credit can count toward programs such as the Associate of Business Administration and the Bachelor of Business Administration, so the course can reduce what you still need to complete in a business degree.
After you finish the course, the institution that delivered it sends your transcript to UMT. UMT's registrar then applies CST 415 – Data Structures to your record. Because this is a named course equivalency, the credit maps to a specific catalog course rather than a general elective, which makes it easier to place in your degree plan. UMT allows up to 90 credits (75%) to transfer, and the evaluation is done by the Office of Academic Affairs with review by faculty or subject-matter experts.
This course suits people who already have some college credit and want to finish a UMT degree without paying for every remaining course at UMT's $390 per credit rate. A 3-credit course at that rate is $1,170 at UMT, so earning the credit elsewhere can matter. Keep in mind that transfer is capped at 90 credits, or 75% of a degree, so you will still need to complete part of your program at UMT. This is not a good match if you need hands-on instruction from an instructor or have no interest in programming, since the course is built around writing Java and analyzing algorithms.
UMT's Office of Academic Affairs evaluates transfer credit and prior learning against UMT course outcomes, with review by faculty or subject-matter experts. The figures below are from UMT's 2026-27 University Catalog.
Transfer credits are never guaranteed. Final credit awards are determined by UMT's Office of Academic Affairs.
