About this course

Understanding Educational Psychology for your CrestPoint credit.

What is Educational Psychology?

Educational Psychology is the study of how people learn and how teaching, motivation, memory, and development affect that process. It looks at what happens in the mind and behavior of learners, and how educators can use that knowledge to support learning in schools and other settings.

How the course teaches you

Educational Psychology (Psychology 120) is a 3-credit, self-paced online course built around video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam, with grading split 25% Attendance, 25% Quizzes, 25% Assignments, and 25% Final Exam. When you complete it, the transcript can be sent for CrestPoint University review, where it is recognized as PSY-204 – Educational Psychology, a named course equivalency in the CrestPoint catalog.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The course focuses on how people learn, remember, stay motivated, and develop, so the ideas can be used in classrooms, training settings, and other work where understanding behavior matters. At CrestPoint, the credit lands as PSY-204 – Educational Psychology, which can support degree planning in programs such as the Associate of Paralegal Studies or the Bachelor of Business Administration.

Skills you walk away with

Taking this course toward CrestPoint

After you finish, your transcript is sent for CrestPoint University review, and under the signed articulation agreement the registrar applies the course as PSY-204 – Educational Psychology. That named recognition means CrestPoint treats it as a specific catalog course, not just general transfer credit, which can make it easier to fit into a degree plan. CrestPoint accepts up to 72 transfer credits, or 60% of the degree, so this course can count within that limit alongside other approved coursework. CrestPoint also accepts transfer credit recommended by ACE, NCCRS, and CCAP, but this course has its own assigned CrestPoint equivalency through the UPI Study agreement.

Who this course is for

This course fits students who want a clear transfer path to CrestPoint and need a course that carries a named equivalency rather than an unspecified elective. It is a practical option for adults finishing a degree, students changing direction, or anyone watching transfer value carefully, especially with CrestPoint's 72-credit transfer ceiling. It is not the best choice for someone who needs a course outside Psychology 120 or who is hoping for more than the documented PSY-204 – Educational Psychology recognition.
