Online speech class required?

Published

I was curious about the Excelsior LPN to RN program. Does it require a Speech class and if so, how does that work? Is the speech class online?

Ive looked into other lpn to rn programs (at junior colleges) but they all require a speech class that includes giving 3 presentations on campus.

See numbers 2 and 3 in this FAQ post at the bottom of the forum: https://allnurses.com/excelsior-college-online/excelsior-college-distance-808335.html -- there are great docs you can download on EC's site that cover program requirements. Speech is not required per se, but may satisfy some credit requirements.

Uh - am I the only one whose head spins at the idea of a "speech" class online? When the whole purpose is to improve skills related to speaking in public?

Yeah, I imagine it would involve video recording speeches, but seems a bit weird! Not even sure if speech is offered at EC, but I think I got some humanities credit for a speech class I took at a university, in person. :-)
