E010 Foundations of Programming (Python) (ITEC 3102, 3 CUs in the September 2026 WGU catalog) is WGU's no-prerequisites Python opener across 9 catalog tables: term 1 of the B.S. Computer Science and its accelerated BSCS-to-MSCS path in the September 2026 edition, term 5 of all four Cloud and Network Engineering tracks, term 7 of the B.S. Cybersecurity and Information Assurance, and term 8 of the B.S. Information Technology tables. Variables, loops, conditionals, data structures, and debugging, with the catalog stating no prerequisites. Coursework Ninja completes E010 done-for-you. From $99. Independent of WGU.
Next question: what does D522 Python for IT Automation, the applied companion, cover?
Per WGU's published description, Foundations of Programming (Python) introduces the fundamental principles of programming using Python: the essential skills to write, troubleshoot, and debug simple Python programs. Students explore the syntax and structure of Python, develop an understanding of variables, loops, and conditional statements, and learn to work within different development environments, including integrated development environments and text editors. By the end of the course, students create functional Python programs, manipulate data structures, and apply debugging techniques across various platforms. The catalog states there are no prerequisites.
The September 2026 catalog widened this course's reach. The August 2026 edition carried it in 7 tables; the September 2026 edition carries it in 9, adding term 1 of the B.S. Computer Science and the accelerated BSCS-to-MSCS path, where it is now the first programming course a computer science student meets, ahead of the famous discrete math and data structures walls. It also holds term 5 of all four Cloud and Network Engineering tracks beside D522, term 7 of the cybersecurity degree, and term 8 of the two IT tables. Message us the code and where you stand, and we quote a flat price in writing.
Every full package includes the written 6-month guarantee: we finish the remaining CUs under the agreed plan, or you do not pay. Packages: Bachelor's $3,000 · Master's $3,500 · both $5,500 · single assessments from $99.
Coverage
WGU does not publish assessment formats in the catalog. For a fundamentals programming course, student communities report practical coding tasks over pure theory. We confirm the current format for your catalog year at intake, and the fixed quote covers whichever assessment E010 carries.
The description's core: syntax and structure, variables, loops, and conditional statements, then functional programs that manipulate data structures. The course grades working, readable Python, not memorized definitions.
The piece beginners skip: the description names troubleshooting and debugging, across integrated development environments and text editors and various platforms. Knowing why a program fails is scored separately from making one run once.
The catalog states there are no prerequisites, which is why WGU can drop E010 into term 1 of a computer science degree. That also makes it the fastest real clear on a new plan: a course with no gate in front of it should never survive past the first weeks of a term.
Verified against both editions: the August 2026 catalog carried E010 in 7 tables, and the September 2026 edition places it in 9, adding term 1 of the B.S. Computer Science and the BSCS-to-MSCS path. If your program plan shows it, the code is ITEC 3102 and this page applies.
E010 alone is a single from $99. On a remaining list in any of the nine tables it folds into the flat bachelor's package at $3,000, every remaining academic CU under the written 6-month finish guarantee.

Bottlenecks
A no-prerequisites course should not stall anyone, and yet it does, for calendar reasons rather than ability. These are the stalls we take over most often.

Per the September 2026 WGU institutional catalog, Foundations of Programming (Python) (ITEC 3102, 3 CUs) introduces the fundamental principles of programming using Python: writing, troubleshooting, and debugging simple Python programs, the syntax and structure of the language, variables, loops, and conditional statements, work within integrated development environments and text editors, and, by completion, creating functional Python programs, manipulating data structures, and applying debugging techniques across various platforms. There are no prerequisites.
Per the September 2026 catalog, 9 tables: term 1 of the B.S. Computer Science and the accelerated BSCS-to-MSCS path, term 5 of all four B.S. Cloud and Network Engineering tracks (General, Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Cisco), term 7 of the B.S. Cybersecurity and Information Assurance, and term 8 of the B.S. Information Technology and the accelerated BSIT-to-MSIT path. The August 2026 edition carried 7 tables without the computer science placements.
WGU does not publish assessment formats in the catalog. For a fundamentals programming course, student communities report practical coding tasks over a pure theory exam. We confirm the current format for your exact catalog year at intake, and the fixed quote covers whichever assessment the course carries.
Yes, per our same-day verification of both editions: the August 2026 institutional catalog carried E010 in 7 program tables without the computer science degrees, and the September 2026 edition (Volume MMXXVI, No. 9) places it at term 1 of the B.S. Computer Science and the accelerated BSCS-to-MSCS path, 9 tables in all. If your own program plan disagrees, the plan wins; send it to us and we quote from what WGU shows you.
Per the September 2026 catalog, term 1 of both computer science tables is a four-course row: E010, C458 Health, Fitness, and Wellness, E064 Mathematics for Programmers (ITMS 2100), and C955 Applied Probability and Statistics. E064 is the Python-flavored math course that builds readiness for calculus and object-oriented programming, and all three neighbors have their own completion pages here.
One course starts at $99, with the exact figure fixed in writing once we know where you stand. If E010 is one row on a longer remaining list, the bachelor's package is $3,000 flat with the written 6-month finish guarantee covering every academic course on the plan.
