Best and cheapest online pre req

guest517 · May 15, 2017

Well I'm in Ohio and since I've graduated, I have to be accepted top the Nursing program before I ca appeal my financial aid do I'm paying for my prerequisites as well. I only have 1 left but the total is $355.00 for one class in Biochemistry. My schools tuition is fairly cheap because its a community college. An average course load of 12 credits would be around $1100-1200. It typically costs more to take online classes. Look for local community colleges and make sure the credits are transferable

If you don't mind the input, I'd say that you're going about this backwards. Each nursing program, each college/university has its own list of accepted pre-requisite courses. Not every program takes every other school's version of any one class, so looking for the cheapest courses is NOT the best approach. A course that is the cheapest available but isn't going to be acceptable to the school you want to attend is a complete waste of money.

Also keep in mind that not all pre-requisite courses have online components that will be acceptable either. For instance, it's not unusual for any one school to ONLY accept the science courses with online labs from their OWN school, and some others don't accept ANY online science labs. And there is no nursing program that will not have labs as part of their list of pre-requisite courses.

Best to find out from the schools you are most interested in attending what they will accept, and THEN figure out what you must do in person and what they will take from an online version.

Good luck.
