Prereq Courses Online Anatomy & Phys, Micro, Chem, Nutrition, Human Growth & Devel

Published

It took me a year but I just completed all of my prereq courses online at www.edukan.org. The price per credit was $145 which was very inexpensive compared to other schools and the experience and ease of the courses and their online system was GREAT! Its a system of

various Community Colleges in Kansas. I enrolled at Dodge City Community College.

I took Anatomy & Phy 1 &2 both with lab, Chemistry w/lab, Microbiology w/lab, Nutrition, Psychology, Human Growth and Development. All the professors were very good and if you do the work you should do very well in the classes.

Sounds good. I am looking for online classes like this since my work schedule make it hard for me to get the classes I need to get into nursing. I have 4 biology classes to take. will check to see if they will transfer over to other colleges

Did you have to go to the college for proctored exams? Or log on for the exam via a proctoring service? I'm just starting this journey and need chemistry, statistics and some math classes. Haven't been in college since 1990! I still work full time, have my last child in college at present. So how hard are the classes? LOL.

No, all classes are done from your home/office etc. No need to go anywhere. I would say online classes are obviously more convenient but are a bit more thorough because though you have a professor to help guide and answer questions, there is no one to help teach you or give you highlights on what to focus on in each chapter of the book like being in a classroom. So you have to read each chapter, each word, each formula etc. and be prepared for it all. So it is more time consuming from a studying POV. But you can do it provided you give yourself the time to do the work.

I did something similar - it was a school that was associated with the community colleges in Phoenix (Rio Salado). However, midterms and finals were proctored.

And www.Edukan.org is regionally accredited so all universities will accept your credits. But remember to get in many nursing programs part of the entrance criteria is that you do well (min 3.0gpa) on your science prereqs. So again, make sure you have the time to study.

Be sure to double check with the schools you are applying to in order to make sure courses will transfer. I was going to take all my prerequisite through EduKan but UTA told me they won't accept the credits. I ended up going with online classes from Clovis CC in New Mexico. Super cheap $89/hour. I don't know why this school was ok and Edukan wasn't but I'm glad I checked befor I registered.
