🎯 About Psychology Elective (100 Level) at UAG
What does 'Elective credit' mean at University of Arkansas Grantham?
Elective credit fills the elective portion of a UAG degree — credits required for graduation but not tied to a specific named course or general education category. Every UAG degree program reserves a portion of total credits for electives, which gives students flexibility to round out their program.
How many elective credits do I need for my UAG degree?
UAG's degree programs each define an elective credit minimum within the total (60 credits for the Associate, 120 for the Bachelor's). The specific count varies by program. Check UAG's current academic catalog for the exact elective credit requirement.
Can I use Ethics in the Social Sciences for UAG electives even though it's a social science course?
Yes. The Articulation Agreement explicitly recognizes UPI Study's Ethics in the Social Sciences as elective credit at UAG, regardless of subject area. UAG accepts transfer credit across disciplines as long as the credit comes from an approved provider with NCCRS or ACE recommendations.
How many UPI Study courses can I stack as electives at UAG?
Up to the overall 75% transfer cap (90 credits for the Bachelor's). UAG doesn't impose a separate elective cap beyond that, so you can stack multiple UPI Study elective courses as long as they fit within total transfer maximum and your program's elective requirement.
Is elective credit 'worth less' than named course credit?
No — credit is credit toward your UAG degree. Elective credits count fully toward the 60-credit Associate or 120-credit Bachelor's total. The only difference is they fill the 'elective' bucket on your transcript rather than a specific named course. They have the same weight in graduation requirements.

UAG's registrar applies the agreed equivalency (Psychology Elective (100 Level)) to your transcript. No third-party services are involved.
About this course

Understanding Ethics in the Social Sciences for your UAG 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

Ethics in the Social Sciences (Social Science 110) is a 3-credit online course organized around attendance, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam, each worth 25% of the grade. The course uses video lessons and structured coursework to build understanding of moral theories and ethical decision-making before the transcript is issued. When you complete it and send the transcript to University of Arkansas Grantham, the credit can be reviewed as Psychology Elective (100 Level) and applied as elective credit if UAG awards it course by course.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The course helps you think through ethical choices in counseling, psychology, social work, and research, which is useful in any UAG program that needs elective hours. At University of Arkansas Grantham, that credit can support degree progress in programs such as the Associate of Applied Science or Bachelor of Business Administration by filling elective requirements rather than leaving you short on credits. It also gives you a framework for handling professional and personal decisions where the right answer is not always immediate.

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 UAG

After you finish the course, your transcript is sent for review so University of Arkansas Grantham can evaluate the credit. If UAG accepts it, the registrar applies it as Psychology Elective (100 Level), which means it counts toward total credit hours and helps satisfy elective requirements in your degree plan. That can be useful in programs like the Associate of Applied Science or Bachelor of Business Administration, where elective space can make a difference in staying on track. UAG allows up to 90 credits, or 75% of a degree, to transfer, and transfer credit is awarded course by course for equivalent coursework with a grade of C or better.

Who this course is for

This course is a practical fit for students who want to move credits into UAG and use them toward a Psychology Elective (100 Level) rather than a major-specific requirement. It can work well for degree finishers, adults returning to school, or students planning ahead for the 90-credit transfer ceiling at University of Arkansas Grantham. It is less useful if you need a course that is already tied to a required upper-level major course, since UAG treats it as an elective equivalency.
