Introduction to Criminology is the study of crime as a social and legal phenomenon. It looks at how crime is defined, how it is measured, why people offend, how victimization affects individuals and communities, and how different theories explain criminal behavior.
Introduction to Criminology is a self-paced online course built around video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam. At CrestPoint, completing the course can result in transcript credit that is recognized as PLG-103 – Criminal Law, with the grade structure set at 25% Attendance, 25% Quizzes, 25% Assignments, and 25% Final Exam.
The course gives students a practical base for understanding crime, victimization, and criminal behavior, which can be useful in professional settings where legal and social issues come up. For CrestPoint students, that learning can also support degree progress in programs such as the Associate of Paralegal Studies or the Bachelor of Business Administration, where PLG-103 – Criminal Law fits as a named course equivalency.
After you finish the course, the transcript is sent so CrestPoint can review the credit for transfer. CrestPoint's registrar applies the named equivalency PLG-103 – Criminal Law under the articulation agreement, which means the course is recognized as a specific catalog course rather than just an unspecified elective. That recognition can help the credit fit more cleanly into a degree plan at CrestPoint, including programs like the Associate of Paralegal Studies or Bachelor of Business Administration. Keep in mind that CrestPoint allows up to 72 transfer credits, or 60% of a degree.
This course is a good fit for students planning ahead for CrestPoint and looking for a course that maps to PLG-103 – Criminal Law under the signed articulation agreement. It can also work well for students who want to use transfer credit within CrestPoint's 72-credit maximum, especially if they are trying to move efficiently through a degree plan. It is not the best choice for someone who needs a course that will transfer only as general elective credit or who is not aiming for CrestPoint.
CrestPoint University accepts transfer credit recommended by ACE, NCCRS, and CCAP. Under the signed articulation agreement with UPI Study, each course below has an assigned CrestPoint course equivalent.
Transfer credits are never guaranteed. Students must be enrolled at CrestPoint in good standing and meet course and program requirements. Final credit awards are determined solely by CrestPoint University's registrar.
