About this course

Understanding Psychology of Personality for your Newlane credit.

What is Psychology of Personality?

Psychology of Personality looks at how and why people differ in their patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving. It introduces major theories of personality, from Freud and other psychodynamic thinkers to behavioral, cognitive, humanistic, and biological approaches, along with the research methods used to study personality.

How the course teaches you

Psychology of Personality is a 3-credit online course with video lessons, quizzes, one assignment, and a final exam weighted at 20% quizzes, 30% assignment, and 50% final exam. As you complete the course and your transcript is issued, Newlane University can recognize the credit as Social & Behavioral Sciences GE, which applies to a general-education requirement in a Newlane degree plan.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The course helps you understand why people think, feel, and behave differently, which is useful in jobs that involve communication, teamwork, and reading situations accurately. At Newlane, the credit can support degree progress in programs such as the Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts or the Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy by filling the Social & Behavioral Sciences GE area.

Taking this course toward Newlane

After you finish the course, your transcript is sent for transfer review and Newlane University applies the credit as Social & Behavioral Sciences GE when it matches their equivalency. That designation means the course counts toward a general-education requirement rather than sitting as an elective in the degree plan. Newlane accepts up to 90 transfer credits, or 75% of a bachelor's degree, so this course can help you preserve room for the remaining Newlane coursework. Because Newlane is competency-based, the credit fits into a broader plan where you complete the rest of the degree by demonstrating mastery.

Who this course is for

This course is a good fit if you want a Newlane transfer credit that clearly satisfies a Social & Behavioral Sciences GE requirement and you are planning around Newlane's limit of up to 90 transferable credits. It can work well for students who need a general-education course for a Newlane program and want to keep moving toward a degree that uses transfer credit efficiently. It is not the best choice if you need a course that applies to a specialized major requirement rather than a gen-ed slot.
