What Our Students and Instructors Say
"I was nervous about taking online courses, but when I discovered the wide variety of both introductory and advanced undergraduate biology courses available online through such a respected institution, it meant that I could complete my biology prerequisites on a schedule that worked for me, at a reasonable tuition rate, with faculty at a world-class research university."
 
"Many critics thought mainstream institutions would never accept credits for these online courses and that students would not learn adequately in this environment. Now, many graduate programs actually recommend some of Extension's online science courses to their prospective students who have particular prerequisite courses to complete."
