About this course

Understanding Abnormal Psychology for your Indiana Tech credit.

What is Abnormal Psychology?

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.

How the course teaches you

This self-paced online course uses video lessons, quizzes, one assignment, and a final exam, with grading weighted at 20% Quizzes, 30% Assignment, and 50% Final Exam. When you finish, the transcript can be sent to Indiana Tech, where the course is recognized as PSY 2520 – Abnormal Psychology, a named course equivalency that matches a specific catalog course.

How it helps beyond the classroom

Abnormal Psychology builds a working understanding of mental disorders, diagnosis, and treatment, which can be useful in settings where people need careful, informed communication and problem-solving. At Indiana Tech, the credit can fit into programs such as the Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science, helping students keep progress aligned with their degree plan while meeting curriculum requirements.
