UPI Study sends your official transcript directly to University of the People's registrar. UoPeople applies the equivalency: CS 1103 – Programming 2.
Get this course + every other UPI Study course with a subscription, or buy just this one for a one-time fee.
Best if you plan to stack 3+ courses toward your UoPeople degree. All UPI Study courses included — including Data Structure and Algorithms.
Pay once, keep it forever. No subscription, no renewals. The simplest path if you only need this course to transfer to UoPeople.

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.
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.
Data Structure and Algorithms is delivered through a structured online format that combines video lessons with quizzes, assignments, and a final exam. The grading is 20% Quizzes, 30% Assignment, and 50% Final Exam, so students are assessed on both practice work and cumulative understanding. When you complete the course and your transcript is reviewed, University of the People recognizes it as CS 1103 – Programming 2, a named course equivalency in the catalog.
The course builds practical programming skills that matter when you are working through a UoPeople degree such as an Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science. Learning how to organize data, write algorithms, and judge efficiency can help you handle programming tasks more confidently in later coursework and in technical work. For students using transfer credit at UoPeople, this can reduce the number of courses still needed in the degree plan.
After you finish the course, your transcript is sent for evaluation by University of the People. UoPeople reviews it and applies the named equivalency CS 1103 – Programming 2 when the course matches their catalog requirements. That matters because a named course equivalency is the strongest form of transfer recognition and can be used within degree plans such as the Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science. Even with transfer credit, UoPeople limits incoming coursework to 90 credits, or 75% of a degree.
This course is a good fit for students who want a clear transfer path into University of the People and need coursework that matches a named equivalency like CS 1103 – Programming 2. It can also make sense for learners who are trying to use transfer credit efficiently within UoPeople’s 90-credit maximum. It is not the best choice if you are looking for a non-programming elective or if your plan does not require a programming course in the UoPeople catalog.
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.
