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.
Cybersecurity is the study of how to protect computers, networks, software, and data from unauthorized access, damage, and disruption. In this course, students learn the basic threats people and organizations face, such as malware, phishing, weak passwords, web attacks, and insecure systems, along with the methods used to reduce those risks.
Cybersecurity is a 3-credit course with quizzes, assignments, and a final exam weighted at 20%, 30%, and 50% respectively. The course covers practical protection of computers, networks, software, and data through study of common threats and defenses, and the completed transcript is the record UoPeople uses to recognize the work as CS 3304 – Network Security.
The material is useful anywhere people rely on digital systems, since it addresses malware, phishing, weak passwords, web attacks, insecure systems, and the policies used to reduce those risks. At University of the People, this transfer can support degree progress in programs such as the Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science while building knowledge that fits network security work and everyday information protection.
After you finish the course, your transcript is evaluated by University of the People’s team, and the course is recognized as CS 3304 – Network Security. That named recognition is the strongest form of transfer credit because it maps to a specific catalog course, which can help you place the credit directly into a UoPeople degree plan instead of leaving it as an unassigned elective. UoPeople allows up to 90 credits, or 75%, to transfer, so this course can count toward that limit while you complete the rest of your studies in programs such as the Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science. UoPeople is a tuition-free, WASC-accredited online university, and you pay only a small per-course assessment fee rather than tuition.
This course is a good fit for students planning ahead for University of the People and wanting a named course equivalency rather than a loose elective match, because it transfers as CS 3304 – Network Security. It also suits students who want to stay within UoPeople’s transfer ceiling of up to 90 credits, or 75% of a degree, so they can keep more room for UoPeople coursework. It is less useful for someone who is not pursuing a UoPeople degree path or who expects a transfer result beyond that credit limit.
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.
