Online Pathophysiology

Published

Anyone know of online pathophysiology courses for Sping '05?

Here's what a quick google search turned up... Glendale community college offers it, but it's filled. Rio Salado offers it, but only students admitted into their nursing program. Canyon College offers an accelerated 8 week course, which isn't desirable for my class load. Wyoming University has offered one in the past, but I couldn't locate a section for the Spring '05.

Are you sure about Rio? I was told you just have to complete bio 202 to take it (the 4 credit class, anyway). And that is also what it says on the course schedule. The two-2 credit classes are the ones only available to nursing students, from my understanding.

Here is the descriptiono of the 4 credit class.

Looks like I have some options here.

You are right about Rio, I called to confirm what you were saying. The weird thing is it's listed under the Nursing department, but uses course prefix HCR for health care related.

And thanks for the info on U of Wyoming as well. Thanks for the quick help!

I would check with your school before trying to take it somewhere else and then transferring it. Some schools will teach patho as a nursing or healthcare course and other schools teach it as a biology course (usually more difficult).

Yep, the school I'm attending only requires the 3 credit hour patho variety, whereas most only accept the 4 credit hour.
