Savings estimate = credits × $475, DSU's undergraduate rate of $1,425 per 3-credit course (2026-2027 Academic Catalog). Under the articulation agreement DSU does not charge tuition for the UPI Study courses it recognizes as credit. Credit awards are subject to DSU's registrar review and policy.
Ethics in the Social Sciences looks at how people decide what is right and wrong in fields such as counseling, psychology, social work, and research. It introduces major moral theories, including ideas about moral development, consequentialist and non-consequentialist ethics, and ethical traditions from Western, Eastern, and global perspectives.
Your grade in Ethics in the Social Sciences (Social Science 110, 3 credits) comes from four equally weighted parts: attendance, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam, each at 25%. The course covers moral theories such as Kohlberg's and Gilligan's approaches to moral development, along with consequentialist and non-consequentialist reasoning. Once you pass and your transcript shows the course, Dunlap-Stone University recognizes it as General Education Ethics, which means it can satisfy a general-education requirement in your DSU degree.
The course trains you to separate a moral claim from a value preference and to weigh competing consequences against duties or rights, which matters in any job that involves judgment about other people. Because DSU applies the credit as General Education Ethics, it lands in the general-education portion of degrees such as the Associate of Arts: Business Administration, the Bachelor of Business Administration, and the Bachelor of Arts: Psychology. Students in business or psychology tracks will often meet ethical questions about client treatment, workplace conduct, or research practice, so the coursework gives those decisions a structured frame.
After you complete Ethics in the Social Sciences, your transcript needs to be sent to Dunlap-Stone University so DSU's registrar can evaluate it. Once evaluated, DSU applies the course as General Education Ethics, which counts toward the general-education requirements in your degree plan. Your advisor can confirm exactly how the credit fits your chosen program, such as the Associate of Arts: Business Administration, the Bachelor of Business Administration, or the Bachelor of Arts: Psychology. Keep in mind that DSU allows up to 90 credits (75%) of transfer credit toward any undergraduate degree, so this 3-credit course uses part of that total.
This course suits students who want to finish a DSU degree at lower cost by replacing a general-education requirement with a transferable credit, including working adults balancing jobs with coursework and people returning to finish a degree they started years ago. Career changers moving toward counseling, social work, or business ethics will also find the content relevant. Because DSU recognizes the course for general education rather than as a major-specific requirement, it is not the right choice if you need a course that counts toward a specific major or professional licensure. Transfer credit is capped at 90 credits (75%) of a DSU degree, so students who expect to transfer far more than that should plan around the ceiling.
Dunlap-Stone University recognizes UPI Study courses for credit in its undergraduate degrees under the signed articulation agreement. Each course below has the DSU course, general education category or elective credit Appendix 1 assigns it.
Transfer credits are never guaranteed. Students must be enrolled at DSU in good standing and meet course and program requirements. DSU is solely responsible for how it recognizes UPI Study courses.
