🎯 About APP EL – Applied Elective at Indiana Tech
What does 'Elective credit' mean at Indiana Tech?
Elective credit fills the elective portion of a Indiana Tech degree — credits required for graduation but not tied to a specific named course or general education category. Every Indiana Tech degree program reserves a portion of total credits for electives, which gives students flexibility to round out their program.
How many elective credits do I need for my Indiana Tech degree?
Indiana Tech's degree programs each define an elective credit minimum within the total (60 credits for the Associate, 120 for the Bachelor's). The specific count varies by program. Check Indiana Tech's current academic catalog for the exact elective credit requirement.

Is elective credit 'worth less' than named course credit?
No — credit is credit toward your Indiana Tech degree. Elective credits count fully toward the 60-credit Associate or 120-credit Bachelor's total. The only difference is they fill the 'elective' bucket on your transcript rather than a specific named course. They have the same weight in graduation requirements.

About this course

Understanding Research Methods in Psychology for your Indiana Tech credit.

What is Research Methods in Psychology?

Research Methods in Psychology is the study of how psychologists ask questions, collect evidence, and decide whether a claim is supported by data. It covers how to tell scientific research from non-scientific claims, how studies are designed, and how results are interpreted. The course also introduces ethics, measurement, and different ways researchers gather information about behavior and mental processes.

How the course teaches you

Research Methods in Psychology is a 3-credit course with a simple grading structure: 25% Attendance, 25% Quizzes, 25% Assignments, and 25% Final Exam. The course content focuses on how psychologists design studies, evaluate evidence, and interpret results, so the work is built around understanding research rather than memorizing isolated terms. When the course is completed and the transcript is sent to Indiana Tech, it is evaluated as APP EL – Applied Elective.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The skills from Research Methods in Psychology are useful when you need to judge whether a claim is supported by evidence, compare sources, or make sense of data in everyday settings. At Indiana Tech, that credit applies as an elective in programs such as the Associate of Science and Bachelor of Science, which can help you keep moving through the degree plan while staying within the 90-credit transfer limit. It is especially relevant if you want a course that supports general degree progress at Indiana Tech rather than a major-specific requirement.

Taking this course toward Indiana Tech

After you finish the course, the transcript is sent for review and Indiana Tech considers curriculum-related coursework with a grade of C or better. Indiana Tech then applies the credit as APP EL – Applied Elective, which means it counts toward total credit hours and elective requirements rather than a specific major course. That can be useful when you are filling out an Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science plan and need flexible credits. Keep in mind that Indiana Tech allows up to 90 transfer credits, or 75% of a degree, so this course should be viewed as part of a larger transfer strategy.

Who this course is for

This course is a good fit for students who are building transfer credit for Indiana Tech and want a 3-credit course that can land as APP EL – Applied Elective. It can work well for students who still need room in an Indiana Tech degree plan and want to stay under the 90-credit maximum, especially if their goal is an Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science. It is not the best choice if you need a course that is already known to satisfy a specific major requirement at Indiana Tech rather than an elective.
