Hello,
I’m an eighth grader, but I’m going into my freshman year of high school next year. I would like to take a coursera class or two about animals, since I would like to be a veterinarian someday. Some of these classes are just about dogs and their cognitive skills and others are about the care of horses. Do these count as college credit? If so, I do not want to take them as it’s possible I might get a bad grade and screw up my future…
No they do not.
Actually, a very few few can possibly get you credit depending on your institution, but not the courses you’re probably looking at.
