Does anyone know of any online, self-paced, start anytime animal nutrition classes that will fulfill NCSU requirement? I know they don't recommend this, but I'm only planning to take it if I'm accepted, and I honestly don't expect to be accepted since they take so few OOS students.

You'll have to look into whether they're self-paced and I would also double check to make sure they meet the requirement, but I know Oregon State, Oklahoma State, Kansas State, Purdue, and University of Florida at least historically offered animal nutrition online.
Are you not able to get into NCSU's animal nutrition courses?
There's currently one opening left for ANS 224 and 9 spots left for ANS 230.
Although there are restrictions in place for registering (distance-education students only/NDS students), reach out to the professors with a letter of intent.
For ANS 230, it was reserved, but I reached out to the professor and got in.
For ANS 230, it is fully online and asynchronous.
For costs, I would like to mention that it's cutting close to request a summer scholarship and would need to add NCSU as a college for your 2024-2025 FASFA. For me, I did not receive a summer scholarship and paid almost 1k out-of-pocket for a 3 credit course.
***NCSU is my in-state, so costs may change for you. I would research this if you are worried about costs. There's also about ~$200ish in hidden fees, which you can see the price breakdown before paying in Mypack Portal.
Other colleges that I looked into before deciding to do animal nutrition at NCSU: Purdue, Florida, Georgia, Arizona.

I haven't tried yet. I'm still working on some other prerequisite courses and working full-time. I'd really prefer not to take a class I don't need if I can help it. Since it's only an NCSU requirement and my chances at acceptance aren't great as an OOS student, I was hoping for a way I could squeeze it in last minute on the chance that I am accepted.
Hi, just saw this when researching my colleges I'm applying to.
*Beginning with applicants for the Class of 2030, animal nutrition will no longer be required, and students will be required to fulfill only four semester hours of physics.

Oh wow, thanks so much! When I first started doing research for the prereqs I would need to take it was about a year ago, and I didn't think to recheck the requirements.
