Looking for Radiation Biology course, distance learning

[wmpancho]

Hey, y'all. I found this site about a year ago but have not posted until now. I am only a few courses away from my BSAST at TESC, and I am hoping one of you amazing people can help me. I am looking for an online Radiation Biology or Radiobiology course. Radiation Biophysics has been deemed an acceptable course, but TESC doesn't have another one scheduled in the foreseeable future. I have not had much luck in my searches today, but I thought maybe one of you here has come across this course in your searches for options to complete your own degree. The course fee isn't a deal-breaker, but since military Tuition Assistance is currently suspended, I may be paying for this out of pocket, so the less expensive the better.

Thanks,
Will

I found one at Lakeshore Technical College. It runs 22May - 31 July and costs $420.76.

That's awesome! I'm glad you found something. I tried to search when you first posted, but didn't come up with anything.

Thanks, sanantone, and good looking out, bluebooger.

I don't, strictly speaking, have all the prerequisite classes. Besides the core classes shown below on the excerpt from my academic evaluation, I have also taken all my general ed requirements and free electives. I found this Rad Bio course about three weeks ago so I contacted the school. I found out which academic advisor is assigned this class and e-mailed her. I explained to her my desire to take this course from her institution and included my work background, a copy of my unofficial transcript, and a copy of my academic evaluation from TESC. The very same day she replied that it looked like I have the necessary background to be successful in the course but that she would have to get approval from the instructor to make it official. She relayed to me the instructor's approval four days later. I am registered, all paid up, and ready to go for the 22 May start.

I finish the Nuclear Physics course from Bismarck State this Friday. I am enrolled in Current Trends for the June course. I am planning on taking the Heat Transfer course during the first half-term in the fall (ending 20 Oct) at Bismarck. Finally, instead of Occupational Safety and Health, I am looking at taking Nuclear Chemistry at NMJC during the first half-term (ending 10 Oct) in the fall.

Based on what I have read in other threads it looks like my plan to graduate in December is still on track. I should be able to apply for graduation by 01 October and just let TESC know that the other two classes are on the way.

Okay, then. I seem to have gotten carried away I do enjoy looking over others' degree plans and such, so I'm hoping you guys won't mind.
