Sites Signed Up/Enrollment #s:
Total Enrollment:
Originates from Goodman-Armstrong (M-F, year, .1 credit). Prerequisite: A mature junior or
senior. Students are dual enrolled in their high school and the University of Wisconsin Green Bay. The
student application and registration process is facilitated by the CCIHS (College Credit in High School)
coordinator in conjunction with Goodman-Armstrong Creek High School. Applications are collected in
batches from each high school in the spring of the year for the following academic year. An application
does not obligate a student to take a course; it does allow a network account to be set up in
preparation for registration. At the University Application Level, Social Security numbers are requested
solely for internal student identification and are kept confidential by the University. Social Security
numbers are also required for tuition tax documents to be generated at the end of each calendar
year. Description: The per-credit tuition amount is determined by the University of Wisconsin System for
each semester. Students taking a course through our College Credit in High School program pay one half
the per credit tuition rate and do not pay segregated fees. Visit the following link for current tuition
information: http://www.uwgb.edu/ccihs/html/tuition.htm When registration is final, an invoice for tuition
and fees owed will be sent by the UW-Green Bay Student Billing Office to the appropriate school official. •
It is important for students to be aware that they are applying for and enrolling in a college class; the
expectations of the class will reflect this. The grade earned will become part of the student’s permanent
college record.
Course Emphasis: This course introduces students to the systematic and scientific study of behavior and
mental processes of human being and other animals. Students are exposed to the psychological facts,
principles, and phenomena associated with the major subfields within psychology. The methodology
psychologist’s use in their science and practice will also be studied, with an emphasis of the APA Ethical
Code.
Course Rationale: Introduction to Psychology is a two term course designed for high schools students to
obtain college/ university credit through the University of Wisconsin Green Bay while still enrolled in their
high school. This is a class that is demanding and is of the same caliber of instruction that a student will
have if enrolled through a traditional college/ university.
