rhall13 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Hey guys, I am a non traditional student looking to see if anybody knew of any schools that accepted online classes/labs or didn’t require labs. I work full time and I cannot find any colleges or JUCOs that offer any night classes for AP 1&2 or micro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anachronist Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Hey there, non-traditional student here too. In all my searching I didn't see any PA programs that would accept classes without labs, and none that would accept online classes for prereqs. Those are some pretty consistent requirements everywhere. Best bet would be to find a community college that offers A&P and micro, with labs, and they should have some late evening classes and late labs. Sometimes their websites aren't that great for searching, so if you haven't already, give some of the departments or professors that teach the classes a call.

TheFatMan Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 There are definitely classes that accept those types of courses, you just need to contact the schools individually to see if they accept it. Best to have a link to the course catalog and course description handy to send along with any inquiry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10ansi Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I took anatomy with a lab at a local community college. And somehow the whole thing was completely online. It was accepted by the school and I was admitted. I would check it a CC out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to sound rude at all, but there are plenty of schools that accept online credit. Unfortunately, your resources were lacking. There are also schools that require fewer labs than others. But, A&P lab is probably a lab you won't be able to skip. My advice (at least this is how I did it) is to start by picking a state in which you wouldn't mind living for a few years and find their PA association online. From there you can find a list of all PA programs in that state. Visit their sites and check out their prereqs. My first-choice school fully supports online learning and community college credit as they have a community focus and want their program to be accessible to working adults. I'm not interested in attending a school that gave preferential scoring to university credit vs CC or to brick and mortar over online learning. Best of luck!

TrekkieByDay Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 My local community College has weekend classes that seem specifically tailored to your situation. You can take the class on weekends only, or on week nights, or over the summer. Since they also have a PA program that's a joint masters w/a state university, it's almost like they did this just for Pre-PA students. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
