Does anyone know if any school offers biochem online? I wanted to take it this summer, but i might not be able to anymore; need it to be able to apply to med school (counts as 4th semester of chem at Cal).
 
The University of New England Osteopathic School of Med offers online biochem :

Distance Medical Biochemistry is an on-line course offered by the University of New England and designed for students entering the health care professions. More than fifty medical schools now require or recommend biochemistry for entrance. Even at schools where biochemistry is not required, entering students feel that biochemistry gives them an advantage.

Distance Medical Biochemistry begins any day of the year and can be taken from anywhere in the world. You can find out more about this course on the web at http://distance.une.edu, or you can call Dr. Yonuschot at 207-602-2255.

This course and the University of New England are accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges.

University of Minnesota Biochem...it's a 3000-level course offered Spring, Summer, and Fall...they broadcast the lectures live via quicktime/real-player...but I think you can download them later also (videos, of course)...I think you have some flexibility in scheduling your online exams also.

Type in "umn.edu" or "University of Minnesota" and "biochemistry course"
 
Talk to your pre-med advisor about this before you take it. From my advisor, it is strongly unfavorable to take "hard" classes online. It's best to take them at your home school.

We dont really have premed advisors at my school. The few semi premed advisors we have (through the career center) dont have a very good reputation.
 
chaeymaey, have you taken that online biochem course at New England? If so, what did you think of it? If not, do you know anyone who has? I'm in the same boat, applying but would like to take biochem.
 
Do any of you know what schools frown on online courses? I am researching this course. The syllabus seems managable (I work FT) and it meets fro 13 weeks. ~ 2 hrs a wk. 😕 🙁 :scared:

Only take an online course if you MUST for whatever reason. Otherwise, take the class at your home school. As a rule of thumb, hard classes should all be taken at your home institution and not at an "easier" school. Adcoms know what you're doing by taking it at an "easy" school.
