Whatever you do stay away from College Network and go directly through

Excelsior

or

http://www.istudysmart.com/showcourse.asp?list=25

The latter offers Micro by CD-rom or book version.

With both you study @ your own pace then when ready you go to a testing center like Pearson Vue and take the test. You only have one test equal to a comprehensive final. If you pass, you get college credit.

Thank you so much for the explanation. I know, my friend had a VERY bad experience with college network this year. As for the alternatives you gave they sound great I will look into it but first need to clear with the school I'm transferring to, they are strict about what they do and do not accept.

Thanks again, much appreciated

Hey stash11, your are correct! Microbology is not listed yet......but keep checking because they are constantly adding courses to their website. A & P 1 without lab is what Excelsior will except for my ADN. If you are planning on transferring to another college they may require that a lab is taken along with A & P. $399 will only cover the cost of the course and it is a one time flat rate. Books and other study materials are not included. However, there is a 6 months time period to complete the course. " In others words you have 6 months to finish" I hope this is a help to you...:)

Thank you so much Anglan314, will look into and explain it to my academic advisor, as they had already said no first time 'cos it's not a college per se.

Thank you

Hi all

Thanks for all the previous responses :-)

Please I'm still looking for a school where I can take microbiology online with no prerequisites required

Thank you

American Public Intro to Microbiology

$750. 8 weeks. No prerequisites required. Regionally accredited. You might be able to pick up just this one course... it's worth asking.

Thanks Jocobean

Just checked them out, they offer only 3 credit class, love the dates, wish they offered it with lab :-(

thanks again

Did you look at Mountain State University... it's a self paced independent study, start it anytime, work as fast as you want... I'm taking A&P 2 with a lab...took A&P 1 with them too....if you have take A&P that would count as a prereq

Hey Stash11,

Do you mind sharing what school you started for your micro? Thank you so much.

I have gotten pm's with questions about MSU. If it is an online class you can start imkmediatel and get it done fast. if you do a correspondence it can take 3-4weeks just for supplies.

just stay on top of your prof to get grades turned in some take a while!
