UoPeople is tuition-free, but charges a $120 per-course assessment fee for undergraduate courses. Savings = transferred credits × $40 (the per-credit equivalent of UoPeople's $120 assessment fee for a 3-credit course). UoPeople credit awards subject to their evaluation policy.
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.
At UPI Study, Ethics in the Social Sciences is a 3-credit course built around attendance, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam, each worth 25% of the grade. The course content is delivered in a structured online format, and when you complete it, the transcript can be reviewed by University of the People for credit recognition as PHIL 1402 – Ethics and Social Responsibility. That named equivalency means UoPeople can place it directly into your record as a specific course match rather than a general elective.
This course helps you think more carefully about ethical choices in counseling, psychology, social work, and research, which can be useful in both professional settings and everyday decisions. At University of the People, the credit can support progress in programs such as the Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science, where PHIL 1402 – Ethics and Social Responsibility may fit into your degree plan. It is especially relevant if you want coursework that connects ethical theory to practical decision-making.
After you finish the course, your transcript is sent to University of the People for evaluation. UoPeople's team reviews it and, when it matches, applies PHIL 1402 – Ethics and Social Responsibility as a named course equivalency in your record. That matters because it shows exactly where the course fits in your degree plan instead of leaving it as an undefined transfer. UoPeople accepts up to 90 transfer credits, so this course can help you move toward graduation while staying within that limit.
This course is a good fit for students planning to transfer to University of the People and who want a course with a named match, PHIL 1402 – Ethics and Social Responsibility, rather than an uncertain elective. It may suit people who are working toward an Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science and want to use UoPeople's transfer policy, which allows up to 90 credits to transfer. It is not the best choice for someone who needs a course that already appears on a UoPeople transcript without evaluation, or for a student who has already reached the 90-credit transfer ceiling.
University of the People is the world's first non-profit, tuition-free, WASC-accredited online university. Its team evaluates your transcript for you, and you only pay a small per-course assessment fee — no tuition.
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 University of the People.
