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.
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.
The course is online and self-paced, so you work through the video lessons on your own schedule and complete the quizzes, assignment, and final exam as you go. Your grade is weighted equally across four parts: 25% attendance, 25% quizzes, 25% assignments, and 25% final exam. Once you finish and the official transcript is issued, DSU reviews that record and recognizes the completed course as CJ-201 – Criminology.
Criminology gives you a working vocabulary for how crime is defined and measured, why people offend, and how victimization affects individuals and communities. Those ideas show up in business and psychology work, from assessing risk and fraud to understanding client or workplace behavior. At DSU the credit lands as CJ-201 – Criminology, and your advisor can confirm whether it fills a requirement or elective slot in Associate of Arts: Business Administration, Bachelor of Business Administration, or Bachelor of Arts: Psychology.
After you finish, your official transcript is sent to Dunlap-Stone University. DSU's registrar applies the credit as CJ-201 – Criminology, which is a named course equivalency tied to a specific catalog code. That means the course is recorded in DSU's catalog terms rather than as unassigned elective credit, and your DSU advisor can show you where it fits in your chosen degree plan. Up to 90 credits (75%) may transfer to DSU, and this three-credit course counts toward that total.
This course suits students who want to finish a DSU degree while keeping tuition costs down, including working adults returning to school after a break and career changers who need a social science course on their record. Because DSU recognizes it as the named equivalency CJ-201 – Criminology, it transfers as a direct match rather than as a general credit. Up to 90 credits (75%) may transfer, so plan around that ceiling. It is not a good fit if you need live, scheduled class meetings, since this format is self-paced and online.
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.
