About prerequisite "Organic Chemistry I"

Also, I sent emails to local community colleges, and one replied me as:

"The lab and lecture are not separate on our campus and we do not have a mechanism to separate them. We also do not have an online either."

If I go to local community college to take this class, it will cost me around $56/credit hours. But I have to go to campus once a week for 16 weeks. It is 30 minutes driving one-way. This is very inconvenient given I work full-time.

You have found yourself in between a rock and a hard place, one that I was in myself a few years back. I also was applying to some CRNA programs that specified Organic Chem 1, while in my undergrad I did a blended inorganic/organic course, they wouldn't accept that. So I investigated taking an Organic Chem course and also saw that an online version was always very expensive (around $1000, not including the book) and on campus would require a lab and lots of time commitment.

I just chose a program that would allow my blended course as my solution, good luck with whichever route you choose.

I will start at UT Health's CRNA program in Summer 2017, and am currently enrolled in UNE's online Organic Chemistry course. It is extremely hard, and I honestly wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Everyone I have spoken to recommends enrolling at HCC or another community college and finishing it in person. This is actually my back up plan in case I don't receive the grade UT requires to begin the program.

UC Berkeley Extension has an online organic chemistry course. No lab. It satisfied the requirements for the programs I applied to and I finished the course in less than 90 days. Give it a look!

How hard was it? I know you said you finished it in 90 days, so how time consuming was it during those 90 days.

I would spend 4-5 hours doing each module which was about 4-5 hours a week. It wasn't bad. It's a lot of reading the textbook and the accompanying work manual thing to figure out the answers to the teachers assignments.

I took OChem when i was a young lad pursuing a Biology degree. Very interesting class but it took a huge chunk out of my life. Basically I spent 6 hours a day, 6 days a week studying to barely make an A. Day 7 was dedicated to drinking my sorrows away.

Weber State - although the lab is not separate, it is entirely online and the lab portion actually helps boost your grade. I would recommend it! You do have to have 4 exams proctored, but you can bring a page of notes with you! Lmk if you have any questions!
