About this course

Understanding Introduction to Sociology for your CrestPoint credit.

What is Introduction to Sociology?

Introduction to Sociology is the study of how people live together in groups, how social rules and institutions shape behavior, and why societies develop patterns such as inequality, deviance, and cultural differences. It looks at everyday life through a social lens, asking how family, school, work, government, race, gender, and other forces influence individual choices and opportunities.

How the course teaches you

Introduction to Sociology (Sociology 110) is a self-paced online course built around video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam. The grade is based on 20% quizzes, 30% assignments, and 50% the final exam, so students work through the material in a structured way while moving at their own pace. When the course is completed, the transcript can be sent for CrestPoint University review, where it is recognized as SOC-201 – Introduction to Sociology, a named course equivalency.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The course develops a way of thinking that helps students read groups, institutions, and everyday behavior more carefully, which can be useful in workplace settings and in personal decisions. At CrestPoint, that credit can fit into programs such as the Associate of Paralegal Studies or the Bachelor of Business Administration, where understanding social systems, institutions, and human behavior can support later coursework and degree planning. Because CrestPoint assigns the specific SOC-201 – Introduction to Sociology equivalency, students can see where the course sits in the degree path.

Taking this course toward CrestPoint

After completion, the transcript is sent for review and CrestPoint University applies the course as SOC-201 – Introduction to Sociology under the signed articulation agreement with UPI Study. That named recognition means the course maps to a specific CrestPoint catalog course, so it can be used directly in a degree plan rather than treated as an undefined transfer item. CrestPoint accepts up to 72 transfer credits, or 60% of the degree, so students still need to stay within that limit when planning the rest of their coursework. CrestPoint also accepts transfer credit recommended by ACE, NCCRS, and CCAP, but this course has its own assigned CrestPoint course equivalent.

Who this course is for

This course is a practical choice for students planning to transfer to CrestPoint and wanting a course that carries a named equivalency rather than an unspecified elective. It can also suit students who need to make progress toward a CrestPoint program while staying within the university’s transfer ceiling of up to 72 credits. It is not the right fit for someone who needs a different subject area or for a student whose CrestPoint plan already has enough transfer credit and does not need SOC-201 – Introduction to Sociology.
