🎯 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 Research Methods in Psychology for Woodmont electives even though it's a social science course?
Yes. UPI Study's agreement with Woodmont College lists UPI Study's Research Methods in Psychology as General Elective at Woodmont, whatever its subject area. The credit posts to your Woodmont transcript once UPI Study sends the official transcript.
How many UPI Study courses can I stack as electives at Woodmont?
Up to the overall 70% transfer cap (84 credits for the Bachelor's). Woodmont doesn't impose a separate elective cap beyond that, so you can stack multiple UPI Study elective courses as long as they fit within total transfer maximum and your program's elective requirement.
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. The only difference is they fill the 'elective' bucket on your transcript rather than a specific named course. They have the same weight in graduation requirements.

About this course

Understanding Research Methods in Psychology for your Woodmont credit.

What is Research Methods in Psychology?

Research Methods in Psychology is the study of how psychologists ask questions, collect evidence, and decide whether a claim is supported by data. It covers how to tell scientific research from non-scientific claims, how studies are designed, and how results are interpreted. The course also introduces ethics, measurement, and different ways researchers gather information about behavior and mental processes.

How the course teaches you

The course is self-paced and online, built from video lessons, quizzes, an assignment component, and a final exam. Your grade is weighted 25% Attendance, 25% Quizzes, 25% Assignments, and 25% Final Exam. Completing the course produces a 3-credit transcript entry, which Woodmont recognizes as General Elective credit.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The course teaches you to ask whether a claim is backed by evidence, to read descriptive and inferential statistics, and to judge how a study was designed. Those habits show up in hiring assessments, product testing, budget reports, and any job that involves reviewing data. At Woodmont, the 3 credits fill an elective slot that can count toward a BS in Technology, a BS in Business, or a BS in Psychology, where the same reasoning supports data-heavy coursework.

Taking this course toward Woodmont

Once you finish the course, your transcript is sent to Woodmont College. Woodmont's registrar applies the course as a General Elective under the articulation agreement, which adds 3 credits toward your total credit hours and your elective requirements. Confirm with a Woodmont advisor which elective slots your program, whether BS in Technology, BS in Business, or BS in Psychology, will accept. Transfer credit at Woodmont is limited to 84 credits (70%) in total.

Who this course is for

This course suits working adults finishing a bachelor's degree, career changers who need credits that count toward a new program, and cost-conscious students who want to reduce what they pay. At Woodmont's rate of $360 per credit, 3 credits equal $1,080 in tuition. Because the credit is a General Elective, it fills an elective requirement rather than a specific required course, so it will not help someone who needs a particular major course. Transfer credit is capped at 84 credits (70%), so students planning many transfer courses should count this one toward that ceiling. It is also a poor fit for anyone who needs scheduled live instruction, since the course is self-paced.
