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.
Current Trends in Computer Science and IT is a broad introduction to how modern information technology is used in organizations. It covers both the technical side, such as databases, SQL, application design, and data analytics, and the managerial side, such as IT leadership, decision support systems, and how technology supports business strategy. The course also introduces newer areas like artificial intelligence, machine learning, IoT, big data, and blockchain, with attention to their practical uses and limitations.
Current Trends in Computer Science and IT is a 3-credit course with a grade based on 25% Attendance, 25% Quizzes, 25% Assignments, and 25% Final Exam. The course combines technical topics such as databases, SQL, application design, and data analytics with management topics like IT leadership, decision support systems, and business strategy, plus newer areas including AI, machine learning, IoT, big data, and blockchain. When you complete it and send the transcript to University of the People, it is recognized as CS 1104 – Computer Systems, a named course equivalency in the UoPeople catalog.
This course can help you understand how technology is used in organizations, not just how it works on its own. That matters in UoPeople programs such as the Associate of Science and Bachelor of Science, where CS 1104 – Computer Systems can support progress in a degree plan while building skills you can use in workplace decisions, data handling, and technology planning.
After you finish the course, your transcript is sent to University of the People for review, and UoPeople evaluates it for transfer credit. If accepted, the registrar applies the named equivalency CS 1104 – Computer Systems to your record, which means it counts as a specific course in the UoPeople catalog rather than as an unspecified elective. That can make the course easier to place in an Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science degree plan. Keep the transfer ceiling in mind: UoPeople accepts up to 90 credits, or 75% of a program.
This course is a practical choice for students who want a UoPeople transcript evaluation to count a broad computer science and IT course as CS 1104 – Computer Systems. It may suit people finishing a degree, moving into a different field, or trying to keep costs down, especially since UoPeople allows up to 90 transfer credits. It is not a good fit if you are looking for a narrow, highly specialized course with no connection to organizational IT or transfer planning.
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.
