Need Bio1 course w/ Lab, online, RA credit, accredited, for science majors. Options? - CanICode - 07-31-2025
I need a Biology 1 course that must be:
- Not introductory, no intro, of human concerns, basics, etc. Must be legit Biology 1.
- Needs to have included LAB. This means the lab is part of the class, not a 1 credit separate lab class.
- Part of a Bio degree. It cannot be a class that is offered but not part of an actual Bio degree unless it says something like "For science majors" and is a series numbered course like 1 -> 2.
- Cannot be ACE
- Cannot be CLEP
- Needs to be online
- RA credit from a regionally accredited university
- Cannot be correspondence. It has to have teacher feedback, grading, interaction. Things like ASU universal learner are disqualified.
- Must be for science majors.

Clovis Community College, Coffeyville Community College, and Wilmington University BIO 251 Biology I (with lab) may work. They are expensive though. Clovis is the cheapest at $136.25 a credit + other fees.
