Purdue University Global - BA IT Bunch of Changes

[LevelUP]

Because I asked, I know that IT244 will not work for IT Management (Sophia Python) -- I'm told it's because it's a three-credit class rather than five or six. You could do Project+ (not a hard cert -- I passed it in about a week), which would give you IT401 -- which will work for the IT Management concentration -- as well as not needing to do Sophia for IT301.

Sophia courses convert from the semester system to the quarter system (just like any other course would do): multiply 3cr x 3/2 = 4.5qcr.  But they generally just round up and bring in 3cr courses as 5qcr; and I know this because my daughter goes there, and transferred in tons of credit including a Sophia course, and they gave her a rounded up amount of credits for every course she brought in.  You can also see that they give it 4.5qcr here: https://purdueglobal.sophia.org/?_gl=1*1.....#courses

So no, the person who told you that info is wrong.

There's probably another reason entirely that it won't work for that degree; I'm going to guess, based on the equivalency that they gave the course, that it's because it's a smidge lower level than the course they require for the degree, and that it just doesn't meet the requirements of the course.  Simple as that.

If you look at the Cybersecurity degree or course description, you'll see that Python is 3 credits at PUG.
