Many of them will only accept theory-only online courses. This means that you have to take all 'lab' courses (A & P, Micro, Chemistry, etc) in a traditional setting. Most traditional colleges have begun to provide online courses now, so they are widely available. Just make sure that they are regionally accredited - so your credits will transfer.A side note - Education research has revealed that some courses - such as Statistics - are not well suited for online delivery if students lack a background in that subject. 0 Likes
