🎯 About General Elective at Woodmont
What does 'Elective credit' mean at Woodmont College?
Elective credit fills the elective portion of a Woodmont degree — credits required for graduation but not tied to a specific named course or general education category. Every Woodmont 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 Woodmont degree?
Woodmont'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 Woodmont's current academic catalog for the exact elective credit requirement.
Can I use Abnormal Psychology for Woodmont electives even though it's a social science course?

Is elective credit 'worth less' than named course credit?
No — credit is credit toward your Woodmont degree. Elective credits count fully toward the 60-credit Associate or 120-credit Bachelor's total.

About this course

Understanding Abnormal Psychology for your Woodmont 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, self-paced online course built around video lessons. Your grade combines quizzes (20%), one assignment (30%), and a final exam (50%), so the final exam carries the most weight. Once you complete the course, the credit appears on your transcript, and Woodmont College recognizes it as a General Elective, which counts toward total credit hours and elective requirements.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The course teaches you how disorders are defined, how the DSM structures diagnosis, and how biological, cognitive, behavioral, sociocultural, and developmental factors contribute to abnormal behavior. Those skills carry over to any job that involves people under stress, such as management, human resources, or client services. At Woodmont, the credit fills an elective slot in a BS in Technology, BS in Business, or BS in Psychology degree, so you can apply it without changing your core coursework.

Skills you walk away with

Identify common psychological disorders and their diagnostic criteriaExplain the DSM and the scope of abnormal psychologyCompare biological, cognitive, behavioral, and sociocultural explanations of mental disordersEvaluate treatment approaches such as CBT and other therapiesApply theory to case studies and real-world examplesRecognize ethical issues in assessment and treatmentDescribe risk factors and warning signs related to suicide prevention

Taking this course toward Woodmont

After you finish Abnormal Psychology, your transcript is sent to Woodmont College, an active transfer partner operating under a signed articulation agreement. Woodmont's registrar applies the course as a General Elective, so the 3 credits count toward your total credit hours and elective requirements. Transfer credit at Woodmont is limited to 84 credits (70%), and this course counts against that ceiling along with any other transferred work. Before you enroll, check Woodmont's equivalency sheet for your specific program, since the elective designation is what determines how the credit fits your degree plan.

Who this course is for

This course suits people who already have some college credit and want to finish a Woodmont degree without paying full price for every hour. Working adults, people returning to school after a break, and career changers moving toward Woodmont's BS in Technology, BS in Business, or BS in Psychology are typical fits. Because the course counts only as a General Elective and transfer is capped at 84 credits (70%), it will not satisfy a major-specific requirement, and you will still need to complete the remaining credits. It is not a good match if you need clinical training or a licensure pathway, since the course gives an overview of disorders and treatments rather than hands-on practice.
