Biology degree online can it be done?

[cookderosa]

Right now, I can only think of two schools that have online bachelors in biology: TESU and University of Florida. TESU does not offer all the required courses. I highly recommend UF if you can get in. Their undergraduate biology program is ranked #6 in the country.

Excelsior and APUS offer natural science degrees with concentrations in biology. APUS' program is better even though it's not as flexible, but still not close enough to a typical biology program. I've only looked at local forensic science jobs that focus on DNA. They want certain chemistry and biology courses, but I guess that won't be an issue if you stay in the same job.

Sanantone I have a question... UF doesn't take ACE credits however, if you have an Associates degree they count all of your gen ed requirements as complete.. So, say I get my AS from NMJC would they know I had study.com credits in there?

You have to find out EXACTLY their policy. SOME COLLEGES do accept an associate's degree as a full and perfect transfer of gen eds. If that is the case, courses are *not* picked out and you can roll in ACE or CLEP or whatever. But that will be written, and you need to be sure. (Example, it IS that way in North Carolina, Iowa, Colorado, and a few others if you attend that state's community college you can then attend a public college/uni in that state for a full and perfect transfer). But, normally that's NOT what happens. Normally, having an AA or AS doesn't bring in your courses as a bundle, rather they are still sorted and evaluated (as is the case with ALL of the big 3) and when that happens, the receiving college/uni's CLEP/ACE policy is trump. So, you really have to look and understand which is the case and then how to proceed.
