About this course

Understanding Advanced Social Psychology for your Nexford credit.

What is Advanced Social Psychology?

Advanced Social Psychology studies how people think about, influence, and relate to one another in social settings. It looks at topics such as attitudes, persuasion, prejudice, conformity, identity, and group behavior, with an emphasis on how these processes shape everyday actions and decisions.

How the course teaches you

Advanced Social Psychology is completed through a graded structure built around attendance, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam, each worth 25% of the course grade. When the course is finished, it appears on the transcript as Psychology 310, 3 credits, and that transcript credit can be evaluated by Nexford University as Social and Behavioral Science Elective (Gen Ed).

How it helps beyond the classroom

The course builds practical understanding of attitudes, persuasion, prejudice, conformity, identity, and group behavior, which can help in workplace communication and in reading social situations more carefully. For students planning to transfer to Nexford, that learning can support progress in programs such as the Associate of Applied Science or the Bachelor of Business Administration, where the credit may count toward a gen-ed requirement.

Taking this course toward Nexford

After you finish the course, the transcript credit is sent for evaluation, and Nexford University can apply it as Social and Behavioral Science Elective (Gen Ed). That designation means the course may satisfy a general-education requirement in a Nexford degree plan rather than a major-specific course. Nexford accepts transfer credit up to 90 credits, which is 75% of an undergraduate program. Because Nexford is an active transfer partner of UPI Study and offers a free, no-obligation transfer credit evaluation, students can check how this 3-credit course fits before enrolling in an Associate of Applied Science or Bachelor of Business Administration program.

Who this course is for

This course is a good fit for students who want to move toward a Nexford degree and need a general-education credit that can be reviewed as Social and Behavioral Science Elective (Gen Ed). It can also work well for students who are planning carefully around Nexford's transfer limits, since up to 90 credits or 75% of an undergraduate program may transfer. It is not the best choice for someone who needs a course that is already guaranteed to apply to a specific major requirement at Nexford.
