Anyone Taken Johns Hopkins Online Prerequisites?

Published

I've searched and only found a couple of posts briefly mentioning the JHU online prereqs, but nothing very informative. Have any of you taken any of them? If so, were they extremely hard? Do you recommend them? How were the "virtual labs"?

My situation is I'm interested in going back to school to for an ABSN after graduating a couple of years ago with a Poli Sci degree and working in politics in DC for a while. But for pre-reqs, I can't take Microbiology, A&P I, or A&P II at my local community college because A) I'm in my home state of FL only for a few months and headed back to NYC after winter, and B) I need General Biology as a pre-req for those classes and I took Fundamentals of Biology (back when I was a liberal arts major). So I'm interested in taking JHU's Micro, Anatomy, and Psychology online courses, but can't seem to find much info about them except from their own website.

They're 10 week classes and they say you should devote 15 hours per week for each class (I'm planning on taking only one at a time), and they're also more expensive than a community college would be, but seeing as though that's not a viable option anyway they're not too expensive for JHU at only $350 per credit hour.

Here's what I'm talking about if you aren't familiar with them:

Health Prerequisites | School of Nursing at Johns Hopkins University

I already know I need to check if the nursing schools I'm applying to will accept online pre-reqs, but other input is greatly appreciated!

Another purveyor of post baccalaureate medical prerequisites is the University of New England, also pricey: Science Prerequisites for Health Professions - online classes | UNE Online College of Graduate and Professional Studies

What if the 7 years with excelsior has passed and nursing is not completed is there some other college this course can be completed. Any suggestions?

Kaye you may want to start a different thread for your question since it doesn't relate to the topic here, or search to see if there are other threads about it.

Hi Emily,

I took stats through Hopkins and thought it was great. The class was very well organized. Each week was a new module. We had weekly quizzes, a midterm and a final. The work never seemed overwhelming. Also, the teacher was very accessible. Whenever I had questions, I could schedule a time to talk with him via phone. Best online class I've taken.
