Need prereq advice for grad school (Phoenix, Kaplan, advice?)

Published

Hey all, I am an RN and I've been accepted into grad school. If I attend the program I have been accepted to I have to retake Ethics and need to take Precalculus or Trig. I have to do this during Spring semester. I've already taken two Ethics courses, but they won't accept it as it's related to Nursing :banghead:. I've taken college Algebra and Stats, but they want Precalculus or Trig (can't argue with that).

Being that I've paid for so many classes that haven't transferred (you all know the deal) I'd really prefer to not break the bank on this. I am not a math person. That concerns me. I found University of Phoenix and Kaplan in my search. This would be ideal because they are only 5 weeks long, give or take. Does anyone know of anything similar?

Also, does anyone have a suggestion as to one school over another? Especially because math online concerns me.

Thx

Not a recommendation, just food for thought, Try searching community colleges in your state that have spring mini-sessions that are not full. Second thought would be to search community colleges out of state, but you may pay more.

My previous state's in-state tuition is almost much as my current state's out of state tuition (4X) , so it may work out OK for you also.

Make sure you check with your grad program before taking those 'back fill' courses... there may some stipulations. If they want upper division coursework, classes from a CC may not work.

Best of luck in grad school!
