Anyone ever use BYU Independent study

[Jonathan Whatley]

Has anyone ever used BYU Independent study? i need to have one more chemistry. I did not pass the CLEP chem it was nasty. so i need to have a chem class and WGU will accept BYU Independent study. But i dont know anything about them. anyone use them? they are expensive. about $500 plus books. ouch. but from what i can see it would cost the same at a CC, after registration and out of state costs. i already used SL for chem and recommend them for chem. just dont like proctoru, but got over it, with a means to an end. however i still need another chem without lab, just the class. any ideas?/‎

I added this emphasis. The only university-level chemistry course from BYU IS is CHEM 100 Elementary College Chemistry. If you already have credit for General Chemistry I from Straighterline, this will "duplicate" and not get you any additional credit towards the requirement. Similarly, courses with titles like Basic Chemistry, Introduction to Chemistry, Chemistry for Health Sciences, Chemistry for Liberal Arts, and Chemistry and Society will as a rule duplicate General Chemistry I.

Your natural choice will probably be General Chemistry II from another source. From bluebooger's link to CSU-Pueblo, CHEM 211 Introduction to Organic Chemistry would not duplicate Gen Chem I. A course in Biochemistry wouldn't duplicate, but if you were looking to go with Biochem you should make sure that WGU would count it toward your chemistry requirement rather than under biology.

BYU IS does also offer one Chemical Engineering course, CH EN 273 Chemical Process Principles. It's pretty heavy-duty stuff with a long list of prerequisites intended for Chemical Engineering majors.
