Testing out of TESC Associates Degree "Study Area" requirements

[sanantone]

I'm enrolled in the ASNSM in Biology program. TESU has conflicting information on the webpage, catalog, and academic evaluation on Online Student Services. I'm going to have to pull up the exact requirements later, but you'll need biology II with lab. You don't need the lab for biology I, which is weird. Also, biology I is a required course in gen ed rather than the area of study. I could not find an online standalone lab for biology II anywhere, so I'm taking the course at NMJC even though the CLEP I passed covered the lecture portion of biology I and II.

This is what I took or what I'm in the process of taking.

CLEP Biology - Covered biology I and II, but I'm retaking biology II at NMJC just to get the lab. It's a course for non-science majors, so the labs are easy and kind of a waste, but TESU will count it.
SL Anatomy and Physiology I without lab
SL Anatomy and Physiology II without lab
SL Microbiology without lab
TECEP Science of Nutrtition

I believe all of SL's lab courses are now separated from the lecture portion. I would avoid taking any of their labs unless your son will need them in the future or plans to work in the field. The kits for SL's lab courses are expensive. He will only need the lab for biology II, which SL does not offer.
