RHC81 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I was hoping we could make a list of PA schools that do accept online science prerequisites for those of us who have to take our sciences online. Baylor College of Medicine's PA program does. From their website: "Please note: Distance learning or online courses obtained through accredited institutions in the U.S. are recognized to meet the prerequisite requirements." This was encouraging to me, as I like Baylor. Others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OpSite Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I took BioChem as a distance learning course and there was no distinction on my transcript (the course number was exactly the same as the in-person version). Unless you have to distinguish on CASPA (which, sadly, I can't remember if I did or not), then I can't see how it would matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cinntsp Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Unless you have to distinguish on CASPA (which, sadly, I can't remember if I did or not) You do have to designate what type of course it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OpSite Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Then I must've and it wasn't an issue. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cinntsp Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 my online science courses also didnt distinguish between online and traditional on transcripts. Most don't including mine but it would be dishonest to use that as an excuse to not label them as such on CASPA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will352ns Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Nova Southeastern (verified by Phone) UNE MEDEX (reccomends the UNE online courses) Quinnipiac (reccomends the UNE online courses) Those are the only "for sure" schools that I know of that take online classes. I am sure there are many more. I did a lot of research on this as I am overseas and the only way to knock out my science pre-recs were online. A word of caution about the UNE online courses. UNE states that the course is designed to be the same as a challenging brick and mortar course....and they mean it. Don't think that because it is online that it is somehow watered down. I had to redo a couple of my pre-recs because they were too old...the UNE courses are much more involved than the ones I sat through. That said, I learned a ton and they were well done. CASPA does show if it was traditional or online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laifalove Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Touro in CA is ok with online, as is Western. With Western though, labs cannot be online anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kreya Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I think Rosalind Franklin accepts UNE online, as I found out about UNE on the programs site. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sealer04tx Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 The UNE Biochem page has a list of schools that accept it as a prereq. If you know the schools you are applyingto, they should say on their website. If you're looking at Texas, I believe they all accept online classes.

swooshie1 Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I repeated A&P online (original was brick many many years ago), as well as a lower division Chem class online, also took the UNE Biochem online and a Microbiology online; all but Biochem had an online virtual lab component. I live in the stix so online was my only option. I designated all of them online with CASPA. All of the programs I applied to took them; received interview invites to MEDEX, Pacific, Stanford, Idaho State. Accepted to MEDEX & turned down invites from the others. I wouldn't suggest that pre-PAs use this thread as their sole source, however, because in my researching schools I noticed a few that were changing policies about a few things periodically. So always best to check with your school of interest about what they will or won't take! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haeriphos Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Augsburg Idaho State Shenandoah I got interviews and/or acceptances from these schools and I had some online sciences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackCatWhiteCat Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 As of 6/5/2018 I have these schools. Some of these don't accept online labs so be sure to double check on their website. None of these schools require genetics but may have other requirements AZ-Midwestern Glendale AZ-Northern Arizona AZ-ATSU AZ-Touro Nevada CA-Samuel Merritt CA-Touro CA- USC CA-UC Davis CA-Ketchum (not labs) DC-GW FL-South U/ Tampa GA-Mercer (not labs) IL-Northwestern IL-Midwestern U Chicago IL-Rosalind Franklin MA-Tufts NY-Touro- Bay shore NY-York-Cuny NY-Bay Path NY-Weill Cornell PA-Penn state PA-PCOM PA/DE-Arcadia WA-Medex/UW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
