Question for college students about online classes...

[tripplanner2]

Okay...so this has nothing to do with Disney, other than that I am a huge fan and as soon as I get a graduate and get a job I can go back.

Anyhow, I am an older graduate student that will graduate in June. I have 1 undergraduate class that I need to take in order to fulfill my graduation requirements. I need an English Lit class. Not sure how I graduated undergrad without it but someone I did. Now NYS is requiring it for the program I am in. So my question is, where is the cheapest and easiest accredited college that I can take a course? It just transfers over as a pass/fail and I have been going to school nonstop since June. My brain is fried so I would love for this to be an easy class.

Thanks in advance...can't wait to hear your wonderful suggestions!

I've taken a couple online classes through community colleges in my area. I'm in the Los Angeles area, and I've had good experiences East Los Angeles Community College and the Ventura County Community Colleges (specifically Moorpark College, but I've also done one through Ventura College). I'd suggest taking a look at community colleges in your area to see if they offer online classes. Here I think they're $23-30 a unit (tuition keeps increasing, I can never keep up!) for CA residents -- not sure if it'd be more expensive for someone out of state.

Another option I've heard about is self-paced courses through Brigham Young University. They're more expensive (somewhere between $500 and $600) but like the name suggests, they're self-paced so you can do them as quickly or as slowly as you want. They also offer upper division courses if you need a higher level course.

Congrats on almost graduation! I'm finally graduating undergrad in May after six long drama-filled years. Its exciting!

if you're in ny, try a community college online course. or even a suny online class. they're super cheap and probably super easy

Also, look at CLEP testing if your school allows it and there is one that fits the bill. I wiped out 45 undergrad hours that way...then my school changed their rule to only allow 15 hours worth, LOL
