Using Online Classes as Entry Requirements

[Dazen]

Hi y'all!

As I've said elsewhere, I don't have an academic background in psychology, so I was planning to take a few classes through ASU's online program to meet basic requirements (Intro to Psych, Statistics, Research Methods, Abnormal Psych), giving me 25 credits. I know that online courses are generally not seen as favorably as in-person classes, but given the current COVID situation, do you think these would be acceptable to check those boxes, assuming I do well in them?

Thanks!

As far as filling basic psych requirements and helping you pass the Psych GRE, yes, the classes through a fully accredited state university like ASU should suffice.  Many universities are offering online BS/BA degrees now. Just don't waste money on classes through one of those online for-profit unis like U of Phoenix
