About this course

Understanding Introduction to Psychology for your Nexford credit.

What is Introduction to Psychology?

Introduction to Psychology is the study of how people think, feel, learn, and behave. It covers the main ideas and methods psychologists use to understand topics such as memory, development, sensation, consciousness, emotion, motivation, and mental health. You also learn how psychology developed as a field and how researchers study behavior and mental processes.

How the course teaches you

Introduction to Psychology is a self-paced online course built around video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam. The grading breakdown is 20% quizzes, 30% assignments, and 50% final exam, so the transcript reflects completed work that Nexford can review for transfer. When the course is finished, the credit appears on the transcript as Psychology 110, 3 credits, and Nexford recognizes it as a Social and Behavioral Science Elective (Gen Ed).

How it helps beyond the classroom

The course gives you a framework for understanding behavior, learning, memory, mental health, and communication, which is useful in many work settings. At Nexford, that credit can help you move forward in degree paths such as the Associate of Applied Science or Bachelor of Business Administration while meeting a general-education requirement. Because it transfers as a Social and Behavioral Science Elective (Gen Ed), it can support progress without adding extra coursework in the degree plan.

Skills you walk away with

Explain major theories and historical developments in psychologyDescribe the structure and function of the nervous systemInterpret basic psychological research methodsApply classical and operant conditioning to real situationsAnalyze sensation, perception, sleep, and other states of consciousnessDiscuss memory, thinking, language, intelligence, emotion, and motivationRecognize major psychological disorders and common therapeutic approaches

Taking this course toward Nexford

After you complete the course, the transcript can be sent for Nexford's transfer credit review. Nexford's registrar applies the credit as Social and Behavioral Science Elective (Gen Ed), which means it counts toward a general-education requirement rather than a specialized major course. That can help you preserve room in your degree plan while still staying within Nexford's transfer ceiling of up to 90 credits. Nexford is DEAC-accredited and offers a free, no-obligation transfer credit evaluation, so you can confirm how this course fits before committing to the rest of your program.

Who this course is for

This course is a practical option for students who want to complete a general-education requirement before transferring to Nexford and who want a subject that fits the Social and Behavioral Science Elective (Gen Ed) category. It may suit people returning to school, students balancing work with study, or anyone trying to stay within Nexford's transfer limit of up to 90 credits, or 75% of an undergraduate program. It is not the right fit if you need a course that transfers into a specific major requirement rather than a gen-ed elective.
