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.
Medical Terminology is the study of the words used in healthcare to describe the body, diseases, procedures, tests, and treatments. It focuses on how medical terms are built from prefixes, suffixes, and root words, so you can understand what a term means even if you have never seen it before. The course also introduces common abbreviations and the language used across major body systems.
Medical Terminology (Health 120) is a 3-credit course with 25% Attendance, 25% Quizzes, 25% Assignments, and 25% Final Exam. It uses video lessons, practice work, and a cumulative final to help you learn how medical terms are built from prefixes, suffixes, and root words, along with common abbreviations and body-system language. When you finish and your transcript is reviewed by University of the People, the credit is recognized as HLTH 3102 – Introduction to Health Psychology, a named course equivalency in the UoPeople catalog.
The vocabulary in this course helps you read healthcare terms more accurately, which matters when you are dealing with anatomy, diagnoses, tests, treatments, and clinical documentation. At University of the People, that credit can support progress in programs such as the Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science, where every accepted course helps you move closer to degree completion. Because UoPeople accepts transfer credit within its 90-credit limit, this course may fit into a larger transfer plan instead of being treated as a loose elective.
After you complete the course, your transcript is sent for review and University of the People evaluates the credit for transfer. UoPeople applies the named equivalency HLTH 3102 – Introduction to Health Psychology, which means the course is not just accepted in general but matched to a specific place in the catalog. That matters because it can help you plan how this credit fits into your UoPeople degree path, including programs like the Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science. UoPeople allows up to 90 transfer credits, so this course may count as part of the maximum transfer total rather than outside it.
This course is a practical choice for students planning to transfer to University of the People and want a named course equivalency rather than an uncertain elective. It can make sense for adults returning to school, students finishing a degree, or people building a transfer plan around UoPeople’s 90-credit maximum. It is not the best fit if you need a course that stays narrowly focused on a different subject area, since UoPeople recognizes it specifically as HLTH 3102 – Introduction to Health Psychology.
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.
