Yea. . . it's a community college about an hour from Portland, OR. Has a nursing program, but I believe that classes for that are on-site.

Chemeketa Community College is located in Salem, Oregon. It's a good school. Their nursing program has a long waiting list usually. Great pass NCLEX rate.
I'm considering taking their Microbiology online class. I just sent an e-mail to the instructor because it doesn't specifically say that it has a lab, but it is a 4 hour class. What do you think?

I took an online class through Chemeketa...it was Development through the Lifespan. No problems. I would just make sure with the school you want to apply to that Chemeketa's micro class transfers...just to cover your tail.

She said they have mandatory on campus labs but suggested I check Clackamas Community College because they have an all online one. I looked at it and it shows the tuition for the class as around $400, but I'm sure that's in-state tuition. I'm going to do some checking on it. Here's the link to that school:

The only thing is that I already know that the colleges I'm planning to attend in the future will accept my edukan classes and I already have a spot reserved in the class, so maybe I should just stick with it. I don't really want to drive the 5 hours each way to go to lab twice, but don't know if I can find a cooperative lab locally.
Oh yeah, I also found another school that has it all online, but I don't know anything about them Breyer State university? According to the class syllabus you have 2 tests and a paper and that's it. For the tests, you have 24 hours to complete them after you log into them - that seems like they're just asking you to look everything up while you take the test! Oh, and it's a 6 hour class! Most of the others seem to be 4, edukan is 5. My college requires either a 4 or 5 hour one. I've never seen a 6.
