Fast 1 Credit Lab Option - ashkir - 03-31-2021

Are there any fast 1 credit labs for any science level class?

Possibly at SL? https://www.straighterline.com/colleges/university-of-maine-at-presque-isle/course-equivalency/

Yeah I'm starting to think they're the only option. The downside is you have to purchase lab kits and wait for them to be shipped. They're not virtual.

That's too bad. SDC has virtual labs. But that's $200 + virtual lab purchase. And you have to do everything; not just the lab.

Actually, TEL allows you to purchase labs separately. Maybe you could try them? If it can be ANY science, physical sciences requires only a notebook while the other labs do want you to purchase some supplies.

Thank you! I'm gonna see if TEL would work. Any of these count as their "lab requirement"

TEL transcripted at MACU is Chem I, Environmental Science, and General Biology. https://www.tellearning.org/partners/mid-american-christian-university/#icon-tabs|1

Depends on where you transfer it to. I think TESU counts some computer courses as labs

They don't require labs for GE (unless for specific degrees in which case they require specific courses).  And while they count many CompSci courses as science (Natural World), they don't count them as labs.

I think OP is at UMPI.

Wow, does UMPI offer these classes in the YourPace program? Interesting, those are awesome options, especially Organic Chemistry I & II plus labs! I mean, even doing a term all sciences at $1400 would be MUCH worth it than taking just one or two courses at another university!

I believe the only YourPace option is BIO 105 - the entire list is what covers UMPI's lab science requirement.
