Seeking advice on Natural Science Plan

[MDela3]

Hi,

I'd like to complete my bachelor's degree.  I was orginally going for a degree in Psychology but now work in animal care for the county and love it.  I need a degree to move up and online classes are a must due to my work schedule. After reading through many posts on this site it seems that my best degree options are Biology, or Natural Science.  Speed and money are important factors. I'm seeking advise as to which path to take. Path A an Excelsior degree in Natural Science, path B a TESU degree in Biology (UL biology courses seem to be the challenge and although I love animals I don't really love chemistry), path C TESU BALS >Natural Science, path D an APU Natural Science Degree. 

Many thanks!

Have you considered the Biology bachelor's program at University of Arizona online? They have two unique areas of concentration --> https://online.arizona.edu/programs/unde...biology-bs

I would reach out to an advisor there and see how long it would take to complete a degree there, what credits they would accept, the cost and anything else you are looking to consider. 

What about the ASU Biological Science program? -->https://asuonline.asu.edu/online-degree-...iences-bs/


If you are looking for something more animal science based, Oregon State has a zoology program. --> https://ecampus.oregonstate.edu/online-d...e/zoology/
