Microbiology course online?

[Amethya]

I saw some posts from 2009, but I wanted to ask if anyone has had any luck lately with any online courses for microbiology? If so, any links? I'm looking for the class to do my pre-reqs.

Check out Ocean County Community College. They offer microbiology online. You need to purchase microscope and lab kit so that you can perform all labs at home.

Portage Learning. I finished the class in 10 days, and earned an “A.” Only $792 and it transferred to my local community college and three nearby universities. Do yourself a favor and just do it there. I also took both Anatomy & Physiology classes and a Statistics class from them.

i second portage!!!! i just finished Statistics and getting ready to do A&P 1 and 2 and micro!!!

Just got an email about scheduling the writing sample. I thought we wouldn’t get that until next month.

Wait, I am seeing September 2019 dates...

New Mexico Junior College - much cheaper than Portage and good. I had to re-take Micro due to age of class and NMJC was just as good, if not better, than my in-class experience.

Is it accredited in the United states

I wouldn't have suggested if it wasnt. It a physical campus that also offers online courses.

I took it last Summer, learned a lot, and enjoyed it. As others have said, make sure your school will accept an online science class first. You do all the experiments at home. It runs every semester, including in the Summer. You definitely get out of it what you put into it, but it's really well-organized and graded fairly.

Science courses, especially micro, with NO lab? I'm afraid!

You do each experiment at home and document the procedures with photos. The microbiological concepts used in nursing that are covered in the average micro class are pretty basic, really.

No, they're actually not. The micro class I took we used actual viruses, bacteria and did several procedures that would require an actual lab setting. Plus, being in a lab reinforces what you learn in lecture. My classes were over 20 years ago unless something changed, an actual lab should still be required.

I am actually taking it online through my four year and it’s very tedious. I wish it were in person because the labs are harder when we have to do them through pictures and I feel like I’m not learning much.
