LaceySpeechie Posted December 31, 2018 Posted December 31, 2018 (edited) Has anyone taken a class to fulfill the biological sciences requirement online? If so, where did you take it, how much was it, etc.? (I'm looking for anatomy, general biology, etc. - whatever will be accepted by grad schools for the bio requirement.) I graduated from undergrad with nutrition fulfilling my bio requirement, because my program signed us up for that prior to the new ASHA guidelines, which I didn't become aware of in time to take another class prior to graduating. EDIT: I'll need to take it in the summer, although I would prefer to do it in May or June vs. throughout the entire summer. Edited December 31, 2018 by LaceySpeechie
MH13 Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 Yep. I’m about to take chemistry online to fulfill my requirement. I am in Texas and I’m taking it through Central Texas College. As a Tx resident, not local to Killeen TX where the main campus is located, it cost me $452 for 4 hours, including the lab requirement. I will rent my textbooks, however much that costs. Asha doesn’t really care (as long as it’s not a remedial course, ive only heard of those for math courses in college) just look up their guidelines as to what the course needs to cover.
MommaJ Posted January 19, 2019 Posted January 19, 2019 My daughter took her science classes online at SUNY Rockland County, a community college in New York State. If you're lucky enough to have New York residency, it's quite inexpensive. She found the classes to be very easy, not terribly surprising for intro courses at a community college. But the lack of rigor didn't pose any problems during her grad school experience, since intro bio and chem were pretty much irrelevant to her courses. (To be honest, fulfilling those ASHA requirements, while unavoidable, was a waste of time and money.) If New York state school prices are acceptable for you, SUNY has a website that identifies all the online classes available at all the many SUNY branches. Lots of possibilities.
