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.
Fundamentals of Information Technology is an introduction to how computer systems support business work. It covers the basic parts of information systems, hardware and software, data and databases, networks, security, and how IT helps organizations make decisions and run processes. The course gives students a broad view of how computers, data, and business needs fit together.
This self-paced online course uses video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam, with grading weighted at 20% Quizzes, 30% Assignments, and 50% Final Exam. When you finish and your transcript is sent to University of the People, the completed course can be reviewed for transfer as CS 1104 – Computer Systems, a named course equivalency in the UoPeople catalog.
The material helps you understand how computer systems, data, networks, and security support business work, which is useful in day-to-day office tasks and in roles that depend on using technology well. At University of the People, this credit can support progress in programs such as the Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science, where CS 1104 – Computer Systems may fit into your degree plan.
After you complete the course, your transcript is sent to University of the People for evaluation, and the registrar reviews it for transfer credit. If accepted, the course is applied as CS 1104 – Computer Systems, which is a named recognition rather than a general elective. That matters because it can place the course directly into your UoPeople degree plan in programs such as the Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science. UoPeople may accept up to 90 credits toward a degree, so this course can help you make progress while staying within that transfer ceiling.
This course is a good fit for students who want a clear, transferable introduction to information technology before moving into a University of the People degree. It is especially useful if you are trying to make efficient use of transfer credit, since UoPeople may accept up to 90 credits, and this course has a named equivalency as CS 1104 – Computer Systems. It is less useful if you are looking for advanced systems work rather than a foundational 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.
