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.
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 a 3-credit course with 20% quizzes, 30% assignments, and a 50% final exam, so the work is spread across the term rather than concentrated in one task. The course format helps you build the transcript record that University of the People can review and recognize as SOC 1502 – Introduction to Sociology, a named course equivalency in its catalog.
The course gives you a framework for understanding how culture, socialization, institutions, and social structure shape everyday choices, which is useful in work and in community settings. At University of the People, that credit can sit inside degree paths such as the Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science, where it supports progress toward a broader program plan.
After you finish, your transcript is sent for review and University of the People evaluates it through its transfer process. If accepted, the registrar applies the named equivalency SOC 1502 – Introduction to Sociology to your record, which means the course counts as a specific catalog match rather than a general elective. That matters because it can slot directly into your UoPeople degree plan for programs such as the Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science. Even so, the total amount transferred cannot exceed 90 credits, or 75% of the degree.
This is a practical choice for students who want a sociology requirement to transfer into University of the People and who need a clear named match, SOC 1502 – Introduction to Sociology. It can also fit students who are working through an associate or bachelor’s degree and want to stay within UoPeople’s transfer ceiling of up to 90 credits. It is not the best fit if you need a course with a different subject area or if your target school does not offer this specific equivalency.
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.
