Are there exams? How is grading done?
Yes — the course includes quizzes, assignments, and a final exam. Your grade is equally weighted: 25% Attendance · 25% Quizzes · 25% Assignments · 25% Final Exam.
How do I check if my university accepts UPI Study credits?
Check our Find My College directory . If your university recognizes NCCRS credit recommendations, UPI Study courses qualify. You can also book a free call with our team.
How does UPI Study compare to a traditional university course?
A traditional university course in this subject typically costs $500–$1,500+ per credit hour and requires fixed schedules, campus attendance, and semester timelines. UPI Study covers the same NCCRS-recommended content at $250 total , with no deadlines and no campus requirement.
Can international students take this course?
Yes. UPI Study courses carry an NCCRS recommendation — recognized by cooperating institutions in the U.S., Canada, the UK, and other countries. Students have submitted credits across 26+ countries.
🎯 About CST 320 – Programming in C/C++ at UMT
Does University of Management and Technology accept Programming in C as a direct equivalent to their CST 320 – Programming in C/C++?
Yes. UPI Study's agreement with University of Management and Technology lists UPI Study's Programming in C as UMT's CST 320 – Programming in C/C++, a named course, not just elective or general-education credit. The credit posts to your UMT transcript once UPI Study sends the official transcript.
Will this transfer with full named-course credit, or just as elective?
Named-course credit. UPI Study's agreement with University of Management and Technology lists Programming in C as CST 320 – Programming in C/C++, so it meets that course requirement on your UMT transcript, not a generic elective slot.
What if I've already taken CST 320 – Programming in C/C++ at UMT or elsewhere?
If you've already received credit for CST 320 – Programming in C/C++, UMT typically applies UPI Study's Programming in C as elective credit instead (at the registrar's discretion). Check with your UMT advisor before enrolling to confirm placement.
How does this compare to taking CST 320 – Programming in C/C++ directly at UMT?
The credit value is the same: 3 credits toward your UMT degree. UPI Study's course is self-paced and online ($89/month or $250 one-time), so you can finish faster and start before you enroll at UMT. Many students complete UPI Study courses BEFORE enrolling at UMT to reduce overall program time.
Does University of Management and Technology ever change which courses they accept as CST 320 – Programming in C/C++?
Equivalencies are reviewed periodically. UPI Study's agreement with University of Management and Technology currently lists Programming in C → CST 320 – Programming in C/C++. We update this page whenever that changes.
🔄 About transferring to UMT
How many UPI Study courses can I stack toward my UMT degree?
University of Management and Technology accepts up to 75% of degree credit requirements as transfer credit — up to 90 credits for the bachelor's degree. 39 UPI Study courses are recognized by UMT under the UMT–UPI Study Articulation Agreement, so you can stack a substantial portion of your degree before enrolling at UMT.
Do I need to enroll at UMT first?
No. You can take UPI Study courses with no UMT enrollment, no application, and no admission process. Take the course, earn the credit, then submit your transcript to UMT when you're ready.
How does the transcript reach UMT?
Once you complete Programming in C, UPI Study sends an official transcript in PDF format directly to the email address designated by University of Management and Technology. UMT's registrar applies the agreed equivalency (CST 320 – Programming in C/C++) to your transcript. No third-party services are involved.
About this course

Understanding Programming in C for your UMT 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

The course is self-paced and online. You work through video lessons on your own schedule, then complete quizzes, an assignment, and a final exam, with attendance, quizzes, assignments, and the final exam each counting for 25% of the grade. Completing the course produces transcript credit, and that credit is what UMT matches to its CST 320 – Programming in C/C++ course.

How it helps beyond the classroom

Working through pointers, memory management, and data structures such as linked lists, stacks, and queues teaches you to break a problem into exact, testable steps, a skill that carries into many non-programming jobs. At UMT, the CST 320 equivalency gives you a recognized computing course on your record while you pursue the Associate of Business Administration or the Bachelor of Business Administration. Ask an advisor where the credit sits in your specific program plan before you enroll.

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 UMT

Once you finish the course, your transcript is sent to UMT, and UMT's Office of Academic Affairs evaluates the credit against UMT course outcomes, with review by faculty or subject-matter experts. When the credit is approved, UMT's registrar applies it as CST 320 – Programming in C/C++, a named course equivalency that maps to a specific catalog course code, which is the strongest form of transfer recognition UMT gives. Transfer credit and prior learning may total up to 90 credits (75%) toward your UMT degree, so track your total against that limit as you plan your remaining coursework.

Who this course is for

This course suits working adults who want a technical credit without a long timeline, degree-finishers who need one more computing course, and cost-conscious students, since UMT charges $390 per credit. Because the credit matches a named catalog course, it fills a specific slot rather than a general elective, but it still counts toward the 90-credit transfer ceiling. It is a poor fit for anyone who needs a live, instructor-paced class or who expects a programming certificate rather than university credit.
