Taking A&P Online

Published

Hey Everyone,

I was wondering if anyone has taken anatomy & physiology (1 or 2 or both) online? If so, did any of the schools frown upon it? Does anyone know of a program where you can take both A&P 1&2 online at the same time?

Thanks!

I took A&P II online. It was alright with my program, though not preferable. However, unless you tell your school that you took it online, they'll never know.

I would ask the schools. If you happen to take a course from a school 1000 miles away when you never lived there, I think they can figure out it was an online course.

My first choice school already let me know without me asking that they don't accept any online courses that have labs associated with them including A&P.

I took A & P I & II Online however, the labs were once a month at the school. It was considered a hybrid course.

Nothing is stated on the transcript that the class is online; the transcript is from the school. I really don't know about taking both classes together????

CCCOnline is totally online. Labs are completed at home; you buy a labkit from a company called LabPaq. You chose a home school and that is where your transcript comes from. CCCOnline is Colorado Community Colleges Online; I'm currently taking Chemistry through them with Arapahoe Community College as my home school. Again the transcripts are issued from the home school. There are several posts about these classes; see if you can do a search.

Hi Caitlin,

University of Rochester offers A&P I & II online but they do not include labs. You would have to check with the Nursing program(s) you are planning on applying to and inquire if the Science pre-reqs require labs. I took A&P I at a local community college and A&P II online through the University of Rochester and had to put in more study time for the online course. There is a lot of material to cover and you never know what you will be tested on. In a regular classroom, the professor may say to concentrate on particular areas but just be familiar with other subjects whereas online you don't have that. If the science without labs works for you, the link is: http://www.son.rochester.edu/cll/courses.html

Hope this helps!!

This isn't necessarily true. When I took A&P II online, my professor gave us a list of objectives, and that was the testable material.

By the way, I took my class through Broome Community College It was completely online, including lab, and the professor was great!
