About this course

Understanding Ethics in the Social Sciences for your Newlane credit.

What is Ethics in the Social Sciences?

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.

How the course teaches you

Ethics in the Social Sciences is a 3-credit course with a simple grading structure: 25% attendance, 25% quizzes, 25% assignments, and 25% final exam. The course moves through video lessons and assessed work, so when you finish, the credit appears on your transcript and can be reviewed by Newlane University as Social & Behavioral Sciences GE. At Newlane, that recognition counts as a general-education equivalency rather than an elective with no degree-plan role.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The course helps you practice ethical reasoning in settings like counseling, psychology, social work, and research, which can matter in both workplace decisions and everyday judgment. At Newlane, that learning can support degree progress in programs such as the Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts or the Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy because the credit is applied as Social & Behavioral Sciences GE. It is useful if you want coursework that builds practical judgment while also fitting a general-education requirement.

Skills you walk away with

Explain morality, ethics, and values from different perspectivesCompare Kohlberg’s and Gilligan’s approaches to moral developmentDistinguish consequentialist from non-consequentialist ethicsApply ACA, NASW, and APA codes of ethics to practice scenariosUse ethical decision-making models for difficult casesEvaluate ethics in social science research and human subject protectionRecognize issues in counseling diverse and vulnerable populations

Taking this course toward Newlane

After you complete the course, the transcript is sent for review and Newlane University applies it as Social & Behavioral Sciences GE if it matches their transfer rules. That recognition means the course can satisfy a general-education slot in your Newlane degree plan instead of sitting outside the program structure. Newlane allows up to 90 transfer credits, which is up to 75% of a bachelor’s degree, so this course can be part of a larger transfer strategy. Because Newlane is competency-based and DEAC-accredited, transfer credit works alongside the credits you still complete there.

Who this course is for

This course is a good fit for students who want to move credit toward Newlane while filling a Social & Behavioral Sciences GE requirement, especially if they are balancing school with work or finishing a degree efficiently. It also suits students who want transfer credit that can count inside Newlane’s 90-credit transfer limit and help reduce the number of credits left to complete. It is not the best choice if you need a course that transfers as a major-specific requirement rather than general education.
