About this course

Understanding Abnormal Psychology for your CrestPoint credit.

What is Abnormal Psychology?

Abnormal Psychology is the study of patterns of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that may be distressing, disruptive, or outside typical functioning, and how psychologists understand and respond to them. It looks at how mental disorders are defined, how they are diagnosed using systems like the DSM, and what biological, psychological, and social factors may contribute to them.

How the course teaches you

This self-paced online course uses video lessons, quizzes, an assignment, and a final exam, with grading weighted at 20% Quizzes, 30% Assignment, and 50% Final Exam. When you finish and your transcript is sent, CrestPoint can review the completed course for the named equivalency PSY-200 – Abnormal Psychology, which is the course code it recognizes in its catalog.

How it helps beyond the classroom

Abnormal Psychology helps you understand how mental disorders are identified, what symptoms and diagnostic criteria look like, and how biological, cognitive, behavioral, sociocultural, and developmental factors can shape behavior. At CrestPoint, that knowledge is relevant whether you are building toward an Associate of Paralegal Studies or a Bachelor of Business Administration, because the course content supports careful reading of people, situations, and ethical issues in applied settings.

Skills you walk away with

Identify common psychological disorders and their diagnostic criteriaExplain the DSM and the scope of abnormal psychologyCompare biological, cognitive, behavioral, and sociocultural explanations of mental disordersEvaluate treatment approaches such as CBT and other therapiesApply theory to case studies and real-world examplesRecognize ethical issues in assessment and treatmentDescribe risk factors and warning signs related to suicide prevention

Taking this course toward CrestPoint

After you complete the course, your transcript is sent for review and CrestPoint’s registrar applies the course as PSY-200 – Abnormal Psychology when the transfer is accepted. Because this is a named course equivalency under the signed articulation agreement with UPI Study, it maps directly to a specific CrestPoint catalog course rather than only counting as general elective credit. That makes it easier to place in a degree plan for programs such as Associate of Paralegal Studies or Bachelor of Business Administration. CrestPoint allows up to 72 transfer credits, or 60% of a degree, so you still need to leave room for the credits you will complete at CrestPoint.

Who this course is for

This course is a good fit for students who want a transferable psychology requirement that CrestPoint recognizes as PSY-200 – Abnormal Psychology, especially if they are working through a degree plan and want to stay within CrestPoint’s 72-credit transfer limit. It can also suit students who want a clear, course-by-course path into a named equivalency rather than an uncertain elective. It is not the best choice if you need a lab-based science course or are looking for a class outside the psychology area.
