Looking for an online science + lab that isn't too insane, clear expectations/directions, and will meet the Charter Oak requirement. Would also love to learn something in the process! Wink

What do you suggest? What did you do?

Straiterline Biology + Lab was fairly easy and transfers to Charter Oak.

Could you estimate a time commitment for me, please? Thanks Smile

Really, it depends on what else you have going on. I'd say 2-3 weeks if you spend a couple hours a day.

Thanks so much. That would be ideal. Would want to get it finished within one month.

Most of the ones with labkits should be comparable but I recommend the study.com bio with lab course because it is a virtual lab and only costs an extra $40.

Ed4Credit has Bio w/Lab and Chem I w/Lab. More expensive than some others, but not limited to 1 month which is nice for some.

Side-note: If you need this as a pre-req for any medical programs (pre-med, PA, NP, RN) you want to try to get a brick and mortar class on your transcript instead, or at least clear the course with your target school to ensure they will take it. Otherwise you're going to end up doubling up, spending time and money on the same class that might not get you any additional credits. Food for thought.
1. Prep Phase: Hopeless, 15 credits, need a BA fast, never heard of TESU
2. TESU BALS: 121/120 (9 months)
3. RN Paramedic Bridge - Excelsior (9 months + CPNE wait)
4. WGU RN -> BSN
5. BSN -> MSN/FNP

COSC is getting picky that your lab and science course match, so FYI.

Both my boys did the Straighterline Nutrition course and are doing the nutrition lab at Rio.

Is SL Nutrition and Lab at Rio still ok for COSC? If not, what would be the best option other than Biology, Physics and Chemistry? 
Nancy at Pierpont said they don't accept Nutrition as a Science requirement.
