Biology degree online can it be done?

[Tennesseegirl87]

Ok guys, I've read, researched and read some more.. I'm sorry to have to post questions, if I missed something it is not for lack of trying. When I started this journey I was set on a CJ or psychology degree. After a little growing and learning I have changed my mind... maybe.. Here's my story, I have worked in the biology field for ten years. I was grandfathered in before they required a minimum of a bachelors. I learned everything the hard way (stubborn me). I also work for the state doing their DNA testing (for fun), hence my CJ passion. Recently, my son said to me why don't you just be a teacher.   Why don't I??? I was originally planning to go to WGU and earn my degree to teach 9-12 science. Problem is, they require you to work for free as a student teacher for 15 weeks... (single mom here) not gonna happen. I thought of every possibility but in reality I can't leave my job on a whim and not have another job lined up. I spoke with a teacher friend who informed me if I get a bachelors in biology, I can teach biology with a transitional license for a year then apply for my teaching licence and take the praxis. OK, great!!! Here are my questions: Can I earn a biology degree online? Are there any upper level science classes I can take? I am enrolled with NMJC I will list my classes below. Also, If I go ahead and get an Associate of science with NMJC, will it affect my pell grant?
