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.
Introduction to Java is a first course in computer programming using the Java language. It teaches you how to write simple programs, use variables and data types, make decisions with conditionals, repeat tasks with loops, and organize code into functions and classes. It also introduces basic problem solving, arrays, input and output, and the foundations of object-oriented programming.
Introduction to Java is taken as a 3-credit course with attendance, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam each counting 25%. The course builds from basic programming in Java through conditionals, loops, arrays, functions, classes, and introductory object-oriented programming, so the transcript reflects work that can be reviewed for transfer to University of the People. When UoPeople evaluates the transcript, this course is recognized as CS 1102 – Programming 1, a named course equivalency in the catalog.
The skills from Introduction to Java are useful if you want to understand how software is built, write simple programs, and solve problems more systematically. At University of the People, that preparation can support progress in degree paths such as the Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science, where CS 1102 – Programming 1 may fit into the computer science sequence. It can also help if you need a first programming course before moving on to more advanced study at UoPeople.
After you finish the course, your transcript is sent to University of the People for review. Their team evaluates it and the registrar applies the named equivalency, CS 1102 – Programming 1, when it matches the course content. That matters because a named course equivalency is the strongest form of transfer recognition and can place the credit directly into an UoPeople degree plan. Keep the overall transfer ceiling in mind: UoPeople accepts up to 90 credits, or 75% of a program.
This course is a good fit for students who want a clear starting point in programming and plan to use University of the People’s named equivalency, CS 1102 – Programming 1, in a degree plan. It is also practical for students who are watching transfer limits, since UoPeople allows up to 90 credits, or 75%, to transfer. It is not the right choice if you already have substantial Java coursework and need a higher-level class instead of an introductory one.
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.
