Savings estimate uses Gracelyn University's $88.80/credit undergraduate tuition (2026-2027 catalog; $44 with Gracelyn's institutional scholarship). Gracelyn accepts up to 60 transfer credits into a bachelor's and 30 into an associate degree, for courses with a C- or better that fit the program. Final credit awards are determined by Gracelyn University.
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.
The course is self-paced and online, built around video lessons, quizzes, an assignment, and a final exam. Your final grade is weighted 25% Attendance, 25% Quizzes, 25% Assignments, and 25% Final Exam, so every component counts equally. When you complete the course and the credit appears on your transcript, Gracelyn recognizes that credit as GEOG 1301 – Human Geography.
The course gives you a working method for sorting through competing moral claims, including the difference between judging an action by its outcomes and judging it by duties or principles. Those skills apply to counseling, psychology, social work, and research settings, which are the areas where students in Gracelyn's Associate of Science in Transformational Education (ATED) and Bachelor of Science in Transformational Education (BTED) programs often work. Because the credit maps to a specific Gracelyn course, it can count toward those degree paths rather than sitting as an unattached elective, provided it fits the program requirements.
After you finish, your transcript is sent to Gracelyn, and the registrar applies the credit as GEOG 1301 – Human Geography. Because this is a named course equivalency, the credit is recognized by a specific catalog code, which is the strongest form of transfer recognition and makes it easier to place in your degree plan. The credit must be the equivalent of a C- or better and must fit your program. Gracelyn accepts up to 60 credits (50%) in transfer, so this course uses part of that allowance.
This course suits adults who are already working, changing careers, or close to finishing a degree and want to transfer credit at a lower cost. At Gracelyn's rate of $88.8 per credit, a 3-credit course is a modest expense compared with taking the same credit on campus. Keep in mind that the course is about ethics, not geography, even though Gracelyn applies it to GEOG 1301 – Human Geography, so students who need actual geography content should look elsewhere. It is also not a fit for anyone who cannot earn a C- or better or whose program has no room for it, since transfer credit requires that grade and program fit, and transfer is capped at 60 credits (50%).
Gracelyn University is DEAC-accredited and names the Gracelyn course for each UPI Study course on its list, pathway by pathway. Transfer credit needs the equivalent of a C- or better and must fit the program.
Transfer credits are never guaranteed. Final credit awards are determined solely by the receiving university's registrar.
Enroll for $250 (or use a UPI Study subscription), finish in 28–30 days, and transfer 3 credits to Gracelyn University.
