UoPeople is tuition-free, but charges a $120 per-course assessment fee for undergraduate courses. Savings = transferred credits × $40 (the per-credit equivalent of UoPeople's $120 assessment fee for a 3-credit course). UoPeople credit awards subject to their evaluation policy.
Computer Concepts and Applications is an introduction to how computers work, how people use them, and how technology affects everyday life and work. It covers the basic parts of a computer system, operating systems, files, networks, the Internet, online communication, and common security concerns. The course also introduces broader ideas such as the social and ethical effects of technology and how computers are used in different workplaces.
Computer Concepts and Applications (Computer Science 150) is a 3-credit course built around attendance, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam, each worth 25% of the grade. The course introduces how computers work, how people use them, and how technology affects everyday life and work, including hardware, operating systems, files, networks, the Internet, online communication, and security concerns. When you complete it, the transcript can be evaluated by University of the People and recognized as CS 1104 – Computer Systems.
The course gives you a practical foundation for using computers in school, at work, and in daily tasks, which can matter in University of the People programs such as the Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science. Because UoPeople treats it as CS 1104 – Computer Systems, the credit can support progress in a degree plan where basic computer literacy and system knowledge are part of the larger academic path. It is especially useful if you want a clearer understanding of technology before moving deeper into online study or workplace systems.
After you finish the course, your transcript is sent for review and University of the People evaluates it as part of its transfer process. If accepted, the registrar applies the named equivalency CS 1104 – Computer Systems, which means the credit is placed into your UoPeople record as a specific course rather than as a vague elective. That can help you move through an Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science plan with clearer alignment to the catalog. UoPeople allows up to 90 transfer credits, so this course can be one part of a larger transfer strategy, not the whole plan.
This course is a good fit if you want a UoPeople transfer credit that has a named equivalency, since it maps directly to CS 1104 – Computer Systems. It may also appeal to students who are planning carefully around UoPeople’s transfer limit of up to 90 credits, or who want to keep costs predictable in a school where transfer evaluation is built into the process and the per-credit context is $40/credit. It is not the right choice if you are looking for advanced computer science content rather than an introductory course.
University of the People is the world's first non-profit, tuition-free, WASC-accredited online university. Its team evaluates your transcript for you, and you only pay a small per-course assessment fee — no tuition.
Transfer credits are never guaranteed. Final credit awards are determined solely by the receiving university's registrar.
Enroll for $250 (or use a UPI Study subscription), finish in 28–30 days, and transfer 3 credits to University of the People.
