ktcan10 Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Hello, everyone. I'm still in the prerequisite part of the process, and I am trying to plan my classes for the next couple of semesters. I was wondering where people had taken genetics in the southern California area, as my JC of choice does not offer it. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timon Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 You can take it at University of Phoenix. Costs like $1300 is 5 weeks long and online. I think it's Bio 410 and it should be on their list of acceptable classes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALSAB Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 To save money, try Biol102 at Citrus College. It is an onlne class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zirom Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Be careful of the ONLINE classes as some institutes will not accept them as part of your science pre-requisite... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
healthmission Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 This is the online class that I took through Fullerton College. Western U did accept it for credit, and it was certainly less than $1300. BIOL 109 F 3 Units Genetics and Biotech in Society Transfer: CSU, UC Credit Limitation This course covers the basic concepts and experiments of heredity. Discussions include current advances in biotechnology such as cloning, recombinant DNA technology, DNA profiling, gene therapy and assisted reproductive technologies. 20562 OL1 ONLINE 2/4-5/31 Wu, Jo Wen ONLINE CLASS: This is conducted entirely ONLINE on Blackboard, but requires one proctored exam. Students must log onto this course by the SECOND DAY or may be dropped from the course. For course specific requirements, visit instructor’s website at http://staffwww.fullcoll.edu/jwu/109. For general information, answers to FAQs and more, go to http://online.fullcoll.edu.

healthmission Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 In fact . . . [h=4]Enrollment Fee[/h]$46 per unit for California residents; additional $208 per unit for non-residents so three unit class is less than $150 if you live in CA, or around $600 for out of state students Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timon Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 The issue is, as with most classes, will you be able to get in? Some great suggestions trying to get in at some of the JCs in So Cal. I knwo FJC, Citris and all the other JCs out here are over saturated with students trying to take classes especially with the lack of funding our colleges and universities are getting from the state. If you can't get in, the UOP class is accepted at Western U and classes are always available. Not sure what your time frame is for application but if your back is against the wall you have an option. As for online classes, in general some schools accept it, some don't. Most schools dont accept online classes if there is a lab requirement. In this case there isn't a lab requirement for Genetics at Western and the class I mentioned was approved by them. Additionally I believe western is the only school in CA, NV and AZ that requires this class. So not sure where you are applying but you'll be ok of youre looking to stay close to So Cal. Zirom where did you take Genetics at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wongk Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 San Diego Mesa College online - Human Heredity is accepted by Western Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttaggart19 Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 I took Genetics through UC Berkeley Extension. I believe it was around $800. The nice thing was it was open enrollment, so you could enroll at any time and had 6 months to finish the class. So you could speed through the class if you needed to have it done by a certain date or take the full 6 months. The material wasn't presented in the best fashion but I do remember the professor being a fairly easy grader on the tests Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highsierrasmith Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Cypress college has genetics and if you are registered with fullerton college it will be a breeze . I heard he is a great teacher as well. Ill be taking it there after terminology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktcan10 Posted December 21, 2012 Author Share Posted December 21, 2012 Guys, thank you SO MUCH for the advice! You've given me a great place to start...my back isn't against the wall yet, I was just doing some pre-planning for future semesters, as it looks like I will not be applying to Western until the following year (2014 for 2015 admission). I really appreciate the advice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atmu Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 I took Genetics at Coastline Community College along with a ton of other prereqs that got me into PA school. The best part is that if you apply and are approved for Board of Governer's Waiver, classes will be free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdc2498 Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Do NOT take BYUs Online Genetics course, it is HORRIBLE! I'm taking it now and even though it was cheap ($500) and easy to register, it may just be the worst course I have ever taken at the University level - and I have a Masters Degree! If anyone here has survived it, please e-mail me with help, kcousineau1715@students.mc3.edu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
