upper level undergrad biology online
#1
I found a new source for 300/400 level biology courses. The University of Maryland University College has many for fall! For someone at TESC seeking the Natural Science and Math degree under the new rules, this is a good find! Enjoy!

UMUC is a great school... But the tuition stings a bit if you're not in the military or a MD resident. ($500/credit? Ouch)
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Wile E. Coyote, genius. I am not selling anything nor am I working my way through college, so let's get down to basics: you are a rabbit and I am going to eat you for supper. Now don't try to get away, I am more muscular, more cunning, faster and larger than you are, and I am a genius, while you could hardly pass the entrance examinations to kindergarten, so I'll give you the customary two minutes to say your prayers.

Bachelor of Science in PsychoRabbitology degree
Master of Education with a specialty in Rabbit-specific destructive munitions (or eLearning & Technology, I forget which)
Doctor of Philosophy in Wile E. Leadership with an area of specialty in Acme Mind Expansion - 2017 Hopefully

Yes, it's high. The new TESC rules for that degree make it very hard to find courses in science/math at the 300/400 level. So far, I have only found a couple of schools that even OFFER them online let alone worrying about cost. I really hate the change for that degree. I have never even found a single math at the 300+ level online *ever, and even organic chemistry isn't considered upper level. Oh well, you have a bunch of wahoos randomly creating the degree plan and they don't even have a way for students to complete it. It really is (IMO) for people who may already have earned upper level credit and are going back to check the box.

You're right Jennifer. It is a great find because it shows that there may be other courses available through another college which are less expensive. (I think Sunshine used online courses for her Biology major.)

I was under the same impression about UL Math until TMW2010 posted this link: Courses - Engineering Outreach
It shows that the University of Idaho offers upper-level math courses through various methods.

I have learned since that Mercy College offers entire Math and Computer Science majors through online coursework.

https://www.mercy.edu/academics/school-o...thematics/

https://www.mercy.edu/academics/school-o...r-science/

Both schools are expensive, but there may be other colleges that offer these courses, too.

It is so nice that we have this group of people to search and share with. It will help each of us find what we need for our degrees.

Kinda Pricey, But plenty of upper division distance stuff at OSU.

By Subject - All Terms -- Schedule of Classes -- Oregon State University -- Extended Campus -- Ecampus

Primarilly distance, some like the pre-med chemistry series requires a weekend at the campus with the rest done online.

Do you guys know if these are open enrollment or if you have to enroll as a degree seeking student first? I'm feeling kinda lazy to look it up myself hilarious but just curious if you know off the top of your heads?

OSU lets you take courses as a non degree seeking student. The prices for online are the same for in state and out of state, still pricey at $235 or so an hour. They are on quarters not semesters so the courses are over in 10 weeks but a regular course that might normally be 3-4 credits become 5-6 credits.

Good question; I'll look.....

Idaho - Non-degree admission applications are processed within a week.

Admission - Engineering Outreach

Mercy - Non-matriculant application

https://www.mercy.edu/admissions/apply-n...-students/

I'm not sure how the process normally works to know if this is the type of open enrollment that you were asking about.

Still need to check the prices, though......

Idaho - $500 per credit

Mercy - $700 per credit

Jennifer is there a specific math course you were trying to find? I could check EC's Course Search for you. They don't have a lot of UL Math results, but it would be worth a try.

No, thank you though, I'm not working on that degree- I just stumbled upon it and thought about the people working on that degree at TESC. I try to keep track of changes and solutions that come up.
Come to think of it, I'd probably have more brain space if I didn't worry about the degree plans other people are working on!! Confusedmilelol:
