Online Microbiology course

Published

This is a shot in the dark, but I'm desperate. I'm a rising college senior who's about to start applying to ABSN programs. The only problem is, my college does not offer microbiology with a lab... So I'm scrambling to try and find an online microbiology course for the fall. I had it all figured out, until at the VERY last minute (this afternoon), the community college tells me that the class is going to cost me $2700, plus materials... no thanks. So I need an online Microbio class to take, with a lab component, for this fall. As far as residency goes, I'm a Texas resident currently attending college in Tennessee.

Here are the parameters:

1. Cost below $1000 (that's as high as I'll go), that's including materials.

2. I know some classes have lab components where you have to physically do the labs in your home, with lab kits and microscopes and the like... That is not going to work, given my living situation.

3. Fairly expedited application process. So likely a junior or community college. As in, yes I can send transcripts, fill out forms, verify citizenship... but no time for interviews or anything involved like that.

Any help is appreciated!! Thanks in advance

Try New Mexico Junior College or Clovis Community College. Both offer an online micro course with lab and the price is reasonable.

1) Make sure your program accepts the course.

2) I'm taking micro through NMJC (as well as A&P 1). I live in TX & it only cost me $700 for both classes. I had no problems enrolling & I start Monday. For micro I didn't have to buy anything but the book, everything else I that is needed is just stuff I can find at home or Walmart. I had to buy more for A&P 1.

All I had to do to sign up for the course was apply to the college & then send them proof I had taken general biology (I e-mailed them my unofficial transcript). Then they signed me up for the classes I wanted. This was all done through e-mail & happened in a day or two.
