About this course

Understanding Introduction to Sociology for your Nexford credit.

What is Introduction to Sociology?

Introduction to Sociology is the study of how people live together in groups, how social rules and institutions shape behavior, and why societies develop patterns such as inequality, deviance, and cultural differences. It looks at everyday life through a social lens, asking how family, school, work, government, race, gender, and other forces influence individual choices and opportunities.

How the course teaches you

Introduction to Sociology is taken as a self-paced online course built around video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam. The grade is based on 20% quizzes, 30% assignments, and 50% final exam, and when you finish, the transcript can be reviewed by Nexford University as Social and Behavioral Science Elective (Gen Ed).

How it helps beyond the classroom

The course helps students read everyday situations more carefully by connecting family, school, work, government, race, gender, and other social forces to behavior and opportunity. At Nexford, that learning can count toward a general-education requirement in programs such as the Associate of Applied Science or Bachelor of Business Administration, which can help keep the degree plan on track.

Taking this course toward Nexford

After you complete the course, your transcript is sent for review and Nexford applies the credit according to its transfer policy. In this case, the course is recognized as Social and Behavioral Science Elective (Gen Ed), so it satisfies a general-education requirement rather than a major-specific one.

Nexford is DEAC-accredited and offers a free, no-obligation transfer credit evaluation, which gives students a clear view of how this course fits before they enroll.

Who this course is for

This course is a good fit for students who want a general-education course that can transfer into Nexford as Social and Behavioral Science Elective (Gen Ed), especially if they are planning around Nexford’s limit of up to 90 transferable credits. It can also work well for people who need a flexible way to complete credit outside a fixed class schedule.
