Question by Landloard: Where I can take Anatomy and Micro besides the Community College?
Is anyone knows where I can take Anatomy and Microbiology cources besides the Community Colleges so later they would be credited towards the Nursing program at the Community Colleges? Any area, bay area, Sacramento or anywhere near by Im willing to travel.
The reason i want to take those cources not in community college is because in other schools it might be much faster and I can find better teachers at other schools.

I am a bit confused…by what you are looking for -not a college offering these courses? Basically the only sure way to take a course that will transfer to the nursing program in through a accredited college & the CC is the cheapest alternative for that, the Cal State & the UC system both may offer those, but far more $ $ than the CC. I don’t really know of any freestanding places that would teach those classes that would transfer. Other than colleges, not many other places teach individual classes….

Edit: Microbiology and Anatomy are only 1 semester-where ever you take it, so I doubt a UC/Cal State would be any faster than a CC. All you need for nursing is a general fairly intro course, so honestly, a CC (especially one with a nursing program) will teach you all you need particularly in micro. I actually re-took anatomy at the CC myself because it was a better, more focused class than the one at the university (I was at Cal State LA & USC). Don’t brush off the CC system.
