Savings estimate = credits × $360, Woodmont's published undergraduate per-credit tuition (new.woodmontcollege.edu/tuition-and-fees). Under the articulation agreement Woodmont does not charge tuition for the UPI Study courses it recognizes as credit. Credit awards are subject to Woodmont's review and policy.
Introduction to Criminology is the study of crime as a social and legal phenomenon. It looks at how crime is defined, how it is measured, why people offend, how victimization affects individuals and communities, and how different theories explain criminal behavior.
Introduction to Criminology is a self-paced online course, so you work through the video lessons on your own timeline. Quizzes and an assignment run alongside the lessons, and a final exam closes the course, with each part weighted at 25% (Attendance, Quizzes, Assignments, Final Exam). Once the course is complete and the 3-credit result appears on your transcript, Woodmont recognizes it as a General Elective equivalency that counts toward total credit hours and elective requirements.
The course teaches how crime is legally defined, how it is measured, and how theories such as Rational Choice and the Positivist School explain offending, which helps you read crime reporting and policy debates with more precision. At Woodmont, the credit lands as a General Elective, so it can fill open elective slots in programs such as the BS in Technology, BS in Business, or BS in Psychology. Students in Business and Psychology may find the victimology and social process material useful in roles involving customers, clients, or employees.
After you finish the course, UPI Study sends your official transcript to Woodmont College, where the registrar applies the credit as a General Elective under the signed articulation agreement. In practice, the 3 credits count toward your total credit hours and elective requirements in your degree plan, whether that plan is the BS in Technology, BS in Business, or BS in Psychology. All transfer credit at Woodmont is capped at 84 credits, which is 70% of the degree, so this course uses part of that allowance. At Woodmont's per-credit rate of $360, the 3 credits carry a tuition value of $1,080.
This course suits adults who already hold some college credit and have open elective hours left to fill in a Woodmont degree. It is also a reasonable choice for students who want to limit spending by completing a transferable course at $360 per credit rather than taking a comparable course elsewhere at higher cost. Because Woodmont accepts up to 84 credits (70%) in transfer, check how much room remains before you count on this course. It is not the right fit for anyone who needs a specific required major course filled, since Woodmont treats this credit as a General Elective rather than a named requirement.
Woodmont College recognizes UPI Study courses for credit in its undergraduate degrees under the signed articulation agreement. Each course below has the Woodmont course, general education requirement or general elective Woodmont's equivalency sheets assign it.
Transfer credits are never guaranteed. Students must be enrolled at Woodmont in good standing and meet course and program requirements. Woodmont is solely responsible for how it recognizes UPI Study courses.
