About this course

Understanding Advanced Social Psychology for your CrestPoint credit.

What is Advanced Social Psychology?

Advanced Social Psychology studies how people think about, influence, and relate to one another in social settings. It looks at topics such as attitudes, persuasion, prejudice, conformity, identity, and group behavior, with an emphasis on how these processes shape everyday actions and decisions.

How the course teaches you

Advanced Social Psychology is completed online with a self-paced format that uses video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam. The grade is based on 25% Attendance, 25% Quizzes, 25% Assignments, and 25% Final Exam, and once finished, the transcript can be sent to CrestPoint University for review. At CrestPoint, this course is recognized as PSY-315 – Social Psychology, a named course equivalency that matches a specific catalog course.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The course builds practical understanding of attitudes, persuasion, prejudice, conformity, identity, and group behavior, which can help in settings where people need to work across differences and make sound decisions. At CrestPoint, that learning may support degree progress in programs such as the Associate of Paralegal Studies or the Bachelor of Business Administration by placing the credit into a specific social psychology requirement through PSY-315 – Social Psychology. Because CrestPoint accepts transfer credit under a 72-credit maximum, this course can be one part of a larger transfer plan.

Taking this course toward CrestPoint

After you complete the course, your transcript is sent for review and CrestPoint applies the credit as PSY-315 – Social Psychology under the signed articulation agreement with UPI Study. That named recognition means the course is not just counted as general transfer credit; it maps to a specific CrestPoint catalog course, which can make degree planning more direct. CrestPoint accepts transfer credit recommended by ACE, NCCRS, and CCAP, and this course has an assigned CrestPoint equivalent within the university’s 72-credit transfer ceiling. For students in programs like the Associate of Paralegal Studies or Bachelor of Business Administration, that can help the credit fit into the program plan in a defined way.

Who this course is for

This course is a good fit for students planning to transfer to CrestPoint who want a clear, named equivalency rather than an uncertain elective. It may suit people finishing a degree pathway or building credits for a CrestPoint program, especially when they need credits that can be applied within the 72-credit transfer limit. It is not the best choice for someone who needs a course outside psychology or who is trying to transfer more than CrestPoint’s maximum of 72 credits.
