Classes I know you can take on line at my school:
Upper division math (like trig, calc ect), Pysc-basic and life span development, sociology, political science.
I took chemistry on line at a different school and hear of a school (can't reember the name ) that does anatomy on line.

Try the local community college. Many are now offering classes on-line and do not charge much extra. I am taking Psych on-line through my local community college this summer. In fact, that is why I am up this early. I am writing a paper.

I agree, try your communit colleges. My friend took all her preregs online , except A&P and MIcro. Those have labs and also are more intense, so you might do better taking them in classroom. Good luck.

I agree with the previous posters, check with your local community college.
You can check out Edukan as well:
www.edukan.org
They charge 115/ credit and you can take most of your classes through them including your sciences. They are accredited and easy to work with. Personally online courses have been a blessing for me and I have completed all of my pre nursing courses completley online. Has it been easy...NO. But has it been worth it...YES!
Good luck.
If you choose to take online science classes, be sure the Nursing Program you choose will accept the course. Mine will not and neither will many others unless you have a lab that is offline.

Absolutely agree with above. Very important. Would be a shame to take online courses only to find our that the nursing program will not accept them. You should do this first even before you investigate any online courses.

I have taken the majority of my basics online through my local community college. All courses are completely transferable to the universities in state. We have all classes online, even the a & p and sciences, except you have to come in person for labs. Lecture part is online. I have elected not to take sciences online for personal reasons, but all other basics except sciences I have taken online. As long as you are self disciplined and can study on your own, I would totally recommend taking online courses.
