About this course

Understanding Ethics in the Social Sciences for your Strayer credit.

What is Ethics in the Social Sciences?

Ethics in the Social Sciences looks at how people decide what is right and wrong in fields such as counseling, psychology, social work, and research. It introduces major moral theories, including ideas about moral development, consequentialist and non-consequentialist ethics, and ethical traditions from Western, Eastern, and global perspectives.

How the course teaches you

The course is self-paced and online, built around video lessons that lead into quizzes, an assignment, and a final exam. Your grade combines four equal parts: 25% Attendance, 25% Quizzes, 25% Assignments, and 25% Final Exam. Once you complete it with a C or higher, Strayer accepts the credit, reviewed by ACE and NCCRS, as SOC101 – The Story of Us: Embracing Diversity and Collaboration.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The course gives you a working method for telling consequentialist reasoning apart from non-consequentialist reasoning, and for weighing dilemmas where professional duties pull in different directions. Those habits apply directly to counseling, psychology, social work, and research roles. At Strayer, the credit lands as SOC101 and can be applied within programs such as the Associate in Arts and the Bachelor's degree, so the reasoning carries into your degree rather than standing alone.

Skills you walk away with

Explain morality, ethics, and values from different perspectivesCompare Kohlberg’s and Gilligan’s approaches to moral developmentDistinguish consequentialist from non-consequentialist ethicsApply ACA, NASW, and APA codes of ethics to practice scenariosUse ethical decision-making models for difficult casesEvaluate ethics in social science research and human subject protectionRecognize issues in counseling diverse and vulnerable populations

Taking this course toward Strayer

After you finish, your transcript goes to Strayer, where the registrar reviews the credit and applies it as SOC101 – The Story of Us: Embracing Diversity and Collaboration. That named equivalency ties the credit to a specific catalog course, so it fills a defined place in your degree plan. The 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. That 126-credit ceiling is shared with all of your other transfer work, so check your running total before adding more.

Who this course is for

This course suits working adults, career changers, and students finishing a degree who want a recognized Strayer course instead of an unrelated elective. Cost-conscious students benefit as well, since Strayer's listed rate is $518 per credit and transferred credit reduces what remains to be taken. Because the named equivalency is SOC101, you can plan around a specific course code, and because up to 126 credits (70%) may transfer, this course counts toward that total. It is not the right choice if you need a grade below C to count, or if you expect clinical or supervised practice, since the course covers ethical theory and its application rather than hands-on training.
