About this course

Understanding Abnormal Psychology for your UoPeople credit.

What is Abnormal Psychology?

Abnormal Psychology is the study of patterns of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that may be distressing, disruptive, or outside typical functioning, and how psychologists understand and respond to them. It looks at how mental disorders are defined, how they are diagnosed using systems like the DSM, and what biological, psychological, and social factors may contribute to them.

How the course teaches you

Abnormal Psychology (Psychology 180) is a 3-credit course built around quizzes, one assignment, and a final exam, with grading weighted 20% Quizzes, 30% Assignment, and 50% Final Exam. After you complete the course and your transcript is reviewed by University of the People, the credit is recognized as PSYC 2207 – Abnormal Psychology, which is a named course equivalency in the UoPeople catalog.

How it helps beyond the classroom

This course helps you read mental health information more carefully, understand common disorders, and think through treatment options and ethics in a practical way. At University of the People, that knowledge can support degree progress in programs such as the Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science, where PSYC 2207 – Abnormal Psychology may fit into your academic plan.

Taking this course toward UoPeople

Once you finish the course, your transcript is sent to University of the People for evaluation. UoPeople reviews it and applies the named equivalency PSYC 2207 – Abnormal Psychology when it matches the catalog record. That matters because a named course equivalency gives you clearer placement in the degree plan than a general elective. Even with transfer credit, UoPeople allows up to 90 credits, or 75%, toward a degree, so this course should be considered as part of the larger transfer total rather than the whole plan.

Who this course is for

This course is a good fit if you are planning ahead for University of the People and want a transfer course that has a clear named match in the catalog: PSYC 2207 – Abnormal Psychology. It is especially useful for students who want to make efficient use of the transfer limit of up to 90 credits, or 75% of a degree. It is not the right choice if you need a course that will transfer broadly without checking a specific UoPeople equivalency.
