Savings = semester credits × $518: Strayer's $1,555 undergraduate tuition per course (strayer.edu, 13 Oct 2026) divided by the 3 semester hours one Strayer course equals. Strayer makes the final credit award.
Educational Psychology is the study of how people learn and how teaching, motivation, memory, and development affect that process. It looks at what happens in the mind and behavior of learners, and how educators can use that knowledge to support learning in schools and other settings.
The course runs online at your own pace, built around video lessons, quizzes, a set of assignments, and a final exam. Your grade combines four equal parts (25% attendance, 25% quizzes, 25% assignments, and 25% final exam), so steady work across the term matters as much as the last test. When you finish with a C or higher, the transcript entry is what Strayer uses to recognize the course as PSY101 – Smarter Decisions through Psychology.
Educational Psychology covers how people form memories, solve problems, stay motivated, and respond to feedback, and those ideas show up in training roles, supervision, customer-facing work, and parenting alike. Because this credit lands in Strayer's catalog as PSY101, it can count toward programs such as the Associate in Arts or the Bachelor's degree, so the knowledge you gain also moves your degree forward. Many students find that the vocabulary for explaining how learning works is useful well beyond the classroom.
After you complete the course, your transcript must be sent to Strayer, where the registrar reviews it and applies the credit as PSY101 – Smarter Decisions through Psychology. Because this is a named equivalency, the course maps directly to a specific catalog code, so it can be placed in your degree plan rather than counted only as general elective credit. Strayer's 2026-2027 catalog accepts credit reviewed by ACE and NCCRS with a grade of C or higher, and total transfer is limited to 126 quarter hours toward a bachelor's degree. Check your remaining credit capacity with a Strayer advisor before you enroll in other transfer courses.
This course suits adults who already have some college credit and want to finish a Strayer degree without repeating material they have already studied in a comparable class. It also fits people changing careers who need a foundation in how people learn, and students who want a lower-cost route to credit, since transferred credit reduces the number of courses taken at Strayer's per-credit rate. Keep in mind that the credit only counts if you earn a C or higher, and transfer is capped at 126 credits, so it is not a fit for students who need a full course load of live instruction or who have not yet confirmed their program requirements with a Strayer advisor.
Strayer University signed an articulation agreement with UPI Study (effective 15 June 2025). Its 2026-2027 catalog accepts credit reviewed by ACE and NCCRS, with a grade of C or higher, up to 126 quarter hours toward a bachelor's degree.
Transfer credits are never guaranteed. Strayer determines, in its sole discretion, which credits qualify under the agreement and its transfer credit policies.
Enroll for $250 (or use a UPI Study subscription), finish in 28–30 days, and transfer 3 credits to Strayer University.
