About this course

Understanding Psychology of Personality for your Nexford 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 self-paced online course built around video lessons, quizzes, an assignment, and a final exam weighted 20% quizzes, 30% assignment, and 50% final exam. When you complete the course, the transcripted credit can be reviewed by Nexford University and recognized as Social and Behavioral Science Elective (Gen Ed), which counts toward a general-education requirement. For students planning to transfer to Nexford, that recognition matters because it places the course within the degree structure used for programs such as the Associate of Applied Science and Bachelor of Business Administration.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The course helps you understand why people think, feel, and behave differently, which is useful in workplace communication, teamwork, and interpreting behavior in everyday settings. At Nexford, the credit may apply as a Social and Behavioral Science Elective (Gen Ed), so it can support progress in degree plans such as the Associate of Applied Science or Bachelor of Business Administration without needing to fit a major-specific slot. That can be helpful if you want to keep moving toward a Nexford degree while staying within the university's transfer framework.

Taking this course toward Nexford

After you finish the course, your transcript is sent for review, and Nexford University can apply the credit as Social and Behavioral Science Elective (Gen Ed). That designation means the course fills a general-education requirement in the Nexford degree plan rather than a specialized major course. Nexford is DEAC-accredited and offers a free, no-obligation transfer credit evaluation, so you can confirm how the credit fits before enrolling further. Keep in mind that Nexford allows transfer of up to 90 credits, which is up to 75% of an undergraduate program.

Who this course is for

This course is a practical choice for students who want to bring in a general-education credit to Nexford while working within the university's transfer rules, including the limit of up to 90 credits or 75% of an undergraduate program. It can suit students who are finishing a degree, changing fields, or trying to use transfer credit efficiently toward a Nexford program where the course is accepted as Social and Behavioral Science Elective (Gen Ed).
