🎯 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++?

About this course

Understanding Programming in C++ for your UMT credit.

What is Programming in C++?

Programming in C++ is an introduction to how computers follow instructions and how programmers write those instructions in C++. The course covers the basics of programming logic, algorithms, data types, control structures, loops, arrays, strings, and object-oriented programming concepts. It is a good starting point for understanding how software is built and how code is organized to solve problems.

How the course teaches you

Programming in C++ is a self-paced online course built on video lessons, with quizzes and an assignment along the way and a final exam at the end. Grades are weighted 20% quizzes, 30% assignment, and 50% final exam, so the exam carries the most weight. Completing the course produces the transcript credit that UMT recognizes as CST 320 – Programming in C/C++.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The course covers variables, control structures, functions, loops, arrays, and the basics of classes and pointers, which are the building blocks of most software. Understanding how code is organized helps when you work alongside developers or evaluate a technical project. At UMT, the credit is recorded as CST 320 – Programming in C/C++, which can be applied toward the Associate of Business Administration or the Bachelor of Business Administration, depending on your degree plan.

Skills you walk away with

Writing variables, expressions, and arithmetic operationsUsing IF, ELSE, SWITCH, and loop structuresCreating pseudocode for algorithm planningWorking with arrays, vectors, and stringsApplying object-oriented programming with classesUnderstanding inheritance and polymorphismReading basic pointer and memory management concepts

Taking this course toward UMT

After you finish the course, the transcript is sent to UMT, where the registrar applies the credit as CST 320 – Programming in C/C++. This is a named course equivalency that maps to a specific catalog course code, which is the strongest form of transfer recognition UMT offers. UMT's Office of Academic Affairs reviews transfer credit against UMT course outcomes, with faculty or subject-matter experts involved, so the equivalency reflects that review. Transfer credit toward your UMT degree is limited to 90 credits (75%).

Who this course is for

This route fits working adults, degree-finishers, and career changers who want a credit that UMT has already matched to CST 320 – Programming in C/C++ instead of one that needs a fresh evaluation. Cost-conscious students also benefit, because transfer credit is capped at 90 credits (75%), and each credit accepted is one you do not pay for at UMT's $390 per-credit rate. It is less suitable if you have no interest in writing code or if you need a credit UMT would treat as something other than CST 320. Check your degree requirements before enrolling.
