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.
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, Columbia Southern University can recognize the course as PSY 2301 – Abnormal Psychology, which is a named course equivalency in CSU’s catalog. That matters because it is direct course-to-course credit, not just elective placement.
The course builds a practical understanding of symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and the biological, psychological, and social factors that shape behavior, which can be useful in any CSU program where psychology is part of the degree plan. At Columbia Southern University, that credit can fit into programs such as the Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science. For students using transfer credit to move toward a CSU degree, it can reduce the number of courses still needed after admission.
After completion, your transcript is sent so Columbia Southern University can apply the credit on the registrar side as PSY 2301 – Abnormal Psychology. Because CSU has a named course equivalency for this class, it can be used as a direct match in the degree plan rather than being treated only as general transfer credit. That makes the course especially useful for students building toward CSU programs such as the Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science. CSU still applies its transfer policy, including the maximum of 90 transferable credits, so students should plan the course within that ceiling.
This course is a good fit for students who want a clear psychology transfer path to Columbia Southern University and need a named equivalency like PSY 2301 – Abnormal Psychology rather than an uncertain elective. It is also useful for students who are planning carefully around CSU’s 90-credit transfer ceiling and want to place credit where it has the strongest degree-plan value. It is not the best choice if you need a course that transfers broadly without a specific CSU match or if your intended CSU program does not use psychology coursework.
