Can pre-reqs for USF MEPN program be fulfilled with online A & P?

Hey there everyone,

Does anyone know whether the UCSF MEPN program accepts online A & P? Do they need labs? On their website, they explain they are too busy to review pre-reqs courses, but that we should "be sure" we are taking a "rigorous" course, since in the first year students are expected to be able to put a strong A & P to use in clinicals.

Honestly, I'm not trying to get out of anything... I'd love to take an on-ground A & P, but logistically it may set me back a year, since I have to re-locate and re-set up my life in the next few months.

I've seen some potential A & P online courses with U of Phoenix, and U of New England, and Intro Physio with UC Online, and then a couple more through Corexcel and Calcampus.

What the heck do they mean, they 'don't review pre-req courses'???

Shoot. Thank you, guys!

I think when they say they "don't review pre-reqs" this means that they won't take a look at your individual school's version of A&P and tell you if it's alright. Basically, I think they just want you to evaluate the course yourself and decide if it's "rigorous."

In my opinion, I'd stay away from taking it at a community college because I'm not sure how "rigorous" they would view that course. From the places you've listed, I'd probably go with UC online for the physio part. I took both anatomy and physiology at UC Davis and they were excellent (I took them separate, not A&P combined).

Perhaps take a look at the UC curriculum and compare it to U of Phoenix, etc and see how it looks. That might help you decide if it's "rigorous."

If you have any other questions about UCSF MEPN I might be able to help you answer them--I just applied to that program this year.

Good luck!

EDIT: Both of my anatomy and physiology classes had labs (they were separate classes with extra units). I'd definitely recommend an anatomy lab--mine was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! By far, the best class I've EVER taken at UCD.
