About this course

Understanding Educational Psychology for your DSU 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

You complete Educational Psychology (Psychology 120, 3 credits) as a self-paced online course with video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam. Your grade is weighted 25% attendance, 25% quizzes, 25% assignments, and 25% final exam. Once you pass, the transcript entry for Psychology 120 is what Dunlap-Stone University reviews, and DSU recognizes it as PSY-405 – Educational Psychology under the articulation agreement.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The course covers how memory, problem-solving, motivation, and development shape learning, and how educators use that knowledge in practice. Those skills carry into managing teams, training staff, and explaining how people pick up new work. Within DSU, the credit can count toward the Associate of Arts: Business Administration, the Bachelor of Business Administration, or the Bachelor of Arts: Psychology, depending on how your degree plan places it.

Skills you walk away with

Explain memory systems and retrieval in learningApply classical and operant conditioning conceptsUse reinforcement and behavior management strategiesCompare Piaget’s and Vygotsky’s theories of developmentIdentify factors that shape motivation and self-efficacyRecognize individual differences, intelligence, and learning needsConnect assessment and research methods to classroom situations

Taking this course toward DSU

After you finish the course, request that UPI Study send your transcript to Dunlap-Stone University. DSU's registrar reviews it and applies the credit as PSY-405 – Educational Psychology. Because this is a named course equivalency, the credit appears against a specific course code in your DSU record, which makes it easier to check against your degree plan. Your total transfer credit at DSU may not exceed 90 credits (75%) across all eligible courses.

Who this course is for

This course suits people who want to finish a DSU degree at lower cost, such as adults returning to school, students close to completing a degree, or people switching careers who need a psychology-related credit. Because DSU recognizes it as the named equivalency PSY-405 – Educational Psychology, it counts as a specific catalog course rather than a general elective, and you can apply up to 90 credits (75%) of transfer work toward your degree. It is not the right choice if you need credit that DSU would not accept under its articulation agreement, or if you have already used most of your transfer allowance on other courses.
