Principles of Philosophy introduces the basic questions philosophers ask about knowledge, reality, morality, religion, and human freedom. It also shows how to read arguments carefully, spot weak reasoning, and compare different ways of thinking about the same issue. In a course like this, you study both classic ideas and the methods used to examine them.
Principles of Philosophy is delivered as a self-paced online course with video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam. The grade is based on 20% quizzes, 30% assignments, and 50% the final exam, so steady work matters throughout the term. After completion, the transcript credit can be sent for Nexford University review, where it is recognized as a Humanities and Fine Arts Elective that satisfies a general-education requirement.
The course builds habits that are useful in any degree plan at Nexford, including programs such as the Associate of Applied Science and the Bachelor of Business Administration. Students practice reading arguments carefully, evaluating ethical questions, and comparing different viewpoints, which can help in workplace decisions and in discussions about justice, freedom, and human rights. Because Nexford applies this course as a Humanities and Fine Arts Elective, it can support the general-education portion of a degree rather than a narrow major requirement.
After you finish the course, the transcript is sent to Nexford University for review. Nexford's registrar applies the credit as a Humanities and Fine Arts Elective, which means it counts toward the general-education side of the degree plan instead of remaining an unclassified elective. That recognition can help students in programs like the Associate of Applied Science or the Bachelor of Business Administration move more efficiently through their requirements. Nexford's transfer ceiling is up to 90 credits, or 75% of an undergraduate program, and the university also offers a free, no-obligation transfer credit evaluation.
This course is a good fit for students planning ahead for Nexford who want a general-education course that may apply as a Humanities and Fine Arts Elective. It can work well for people completing a degree, changing fields, or trying to make efficient use of Nexford's transfer policy, which allows up to 90 credits or 75% of an undergraduate program to transfer. It is not the best choice for someone who wants a course tied directly to a technical major requirement rather than a gen-ed credit.
Nexford University is DEAC-accredited and offers a free, no-obligation transfer credit evaluation. Its flexible policy lets you transfer up to 75% of an undergraduate program toward your degree.
Transfer credits are never guaranteed. Final credit awards are determined solely by the receiving university's registrar.
