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.
Introduction to Sociology is delivered as a self-paced online course with video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam weighted at 20% Quizzes, 30% Assignments, and 50% Final Exam. When you finish and the transcript is sent, Thomas Edison State University can recognize the credit as SOC-1010 – Our Changing World: Intro to Sociology, which is a named course equivalency in TESU’s catalog.
The course helps you understand how family, school, work, government, race, gender, and other institutions shape everyday choices, which is useful in many settings beyond the classroom. At Thomas Edison State University, that credit can support degree progress in programs such as the Associate of Arts and Bachelor of Arts by filling a specific sociology requirement through SOC-1010 – Our Changing World: Intro to Sociology.
After you complete the course, your transcript is sent so Thomas Edison State University can apply the credit to your record. TESU uses the named equivalency SOC-1010 – Our Changing World: Intro to Sociology, which means the course is matched to a specific catalog course rather than counted only as general elective credit. That kind of recognition makes it easier to place the course in your TESU degree plan for programs such as the Associate of Arts or Bachelor of Arts. TESU allows up to 90 credits, or 75%, to transfer, so this course can be part of a larger transfer strategy within that ceiling.
This course is a practical option for students who want a clear transfer path into Thomas Edison State University and need a credit that is already recognized as SOC-1010 – Our Changing World: Intro to Sociology. It can fit degree-finishers and students planning around TESU’s 90-credit transfer limit, especially if they are building toward a program such as the Associate of Arts or Bachelor of Arts. It is not the best choice for someone who needs an unstructured, discussion-heavy sociology class or who is not working toward TESU transfer credit.
Thomas Edison State University has one of the most flexible transfer policies in the country and accepts ACE & NCCRS credit recommendations. With a four-year institution's credits, you can fulfill all degree requirements except two required TESU courses.
Transfer credits are never guaranteed. Final credit awards are determined solely by the receiving university's registrar.
Enroll for $250 (or use a UPI Study subscription), finish in 28–30 days, and transfer 3 credits to Thomas Edison State University.
