Question about online courses?

Question:

i want to take online courses in science and mathematics so that i have better opportunities to become a biologist or physicist later, but i can't really find a university that offers them. i don't want to live on campus anywhere, i just want online courses, does anybody know of anywhere that offers a degree in either physics or mathematics [statistics]? preferably in both.

Answer:
TO my knowledge there are no schools online that do that... they offer things like business, etc. Science and math requrie a LOT of labs and there is no way to do that online. Also know that MOST offline schools will not accept any classes you take from an online school..different accreditation.

I don't know too much about this, but check out Advanced Placement.

I have looked around for some time, and have found little in the way of on-line undergraduate degree programs in biology, chemistry, mathematics or physics.

The on-line only "universities" tend not to cover the sciences well. The campus based universities with good on-line (or other distance format) programs tend to offer a few undergraduate courses, or complete master's programs, but nothing in between.

So, you can get the first year or two years of these subjects at a number of places, but then you run out of options.

There are on-line programs in the sciences run by universities in other countries, including Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom,and South Africa. But I find it hard to tell how good these programs really are.

There is one possibility in mathematics: The University of London's External Programme has a BSC in Mathematics and Economics, offered through the London School of Economics (an excellent university). It is not a science degree and you have to take the economics, but you can get a lot of sophisticated math in this program, perhaps enough to get you into an MS program in applied math later. Here is the link:

In my case, I already had a BA in a different field, but wanted to study math. There was no good distance or on-line BS program available. So I took individual distance and on-line courses in math, until I had enough to cover the prerequisites for beginning graduate courses. That (along with my BA degree) was enough to get me into an MS program.

Hi,
I used "EdSoup" to get the right college.With Edsoup, it's easy and FREE.You don't have to search for the right colleges.The right colleges will find you.They also helped me in getting my financial aid.More than 6600 colleges nationwide participating in this EdSoup program.Check it out here:
