Plenty of college degrees where all these classes would be required. Off the top of my head:
Microbiology
Biology
Human Biology
Environmental Biology
Environmental Toxicology
Molecular and Cell Biology
Enology and Viticulture
These are just a few suggestions. Check with an advisor at your current college since don’t you have a transfer plan in place?
A few BSN programs would require Organic Chemistry but General Chemistry is usually the requirement and sometimes Biochemistry. Of course, you need to check each school of interest.
I am a CLS (Clinical Laboratory Scientist) and all these courses were a requirement for my Microbiology major/Chemistry minor.
Yes, there are majors for this and flexibility in taking courses across departments. Some colleges are more flexible than others with majors.
From your other threads it looks like you completed as associates in general studies in May. Are you also trying to do an Associates in Engineering Sci still?
Is your plan right now to transfer, get a BS in something, and focus on Grad School? You have had a lot of plans.
Where ever you go for the BS you will need to meet their requirements and do at least 60 hours.
From what I remember the student was on a Pell Grant. I’m wondering how long it’s going to take to complete the education if the funding runs out? The university education is going to be much more expensive than a community college education.
If the funding runs out, I can take out loans and pay them back later, or ask my friend to pay for my courses, no worries, I won’t have to pay him back he said, his treat.
I have to choose on bs degree and it has to be good. Maybe BSN or biology. I narrowed it down to those two. I have to carefully read each course and make sure it’s right for me.
Why couldn’t they make degrees where they are dual such as biology and BSN joint. Or add those heavy courses to the BSN degree. Choosing is tough.
You asked a similar question in February. The answer really hasn’t changed. You’re a 28-year-old Pell student who just finished a general studies associate’s degree while living with your parents. Choosing the courses you’d like to take and trying to find a major that fits them isn’t an effective approach. As a former Pell student I can tell you we don’t have that luxury. If there’s a 4-year university near your parents’ home you should speak with a transfer advisor there so they can help you make a plan that will allow you to graduate with a marketable degree before your aid runs out.
You can’t borrow money without a cosigner. Even if you could find someone to cosign loans it’s a bad idea to borrow for a degree you could have paid for with just the Pell Grant and federal student loans.
Does your friend work for a living? According to your other threads, you’re a Pell student who’s been living with your parents and not working because it would interfere with your studies. Now you’re prepared to run through all 6 years of your Pell Grant and let your friend fund your studies after the federal aid runs out? Why should he give you thousands of his hard earned dollars just so you can continue to indulge yourself by taking whatever college courses you want while you’re unemployed and living at home for free? What are your plans if, in the next 4 years, he gets a significant other who refuses to bankroll your studies?
I understand from your other threads that your goal is to find a career that allows you to make a lot of money. Is the 4 year school you want to attend within commuting distance of your parents’ home? If so, that’s a good start. Do they offer a BSN? If you can finish that in 4 years you should be self supporting by the time you’re 32-years-old. Then you can pay for whatever master’s degree you want. But your current goal should be to declare a major and finish it before your aid runs out.
Because then they’d have people going through their entire adult lives in a college, being supplemented by their parents and the government, constantly taking classes and not being efficient in choosing a discipline, thus wasting the taxpayers’ and government’s time and money.
It’s nice to be able to learn new things every day, and take courses, and not be responsible nor worry about how to pay for your expenses because someone else is dealing with that. However, you would then have a problem, in that, the colleges would be extremely large with hundreds of thousands of students who wouldn’t move on or launch. There is a limit to how much the state, or others, can and will shell out for one individual student.
OP- there are lots of professions where your employer will pay for you to take additional courses- either for an advanced degree in your field, or for certifications, or just to make you a smarter, more valuable employee. Agree with the other posters- your goal right now needs to be to get out of college with a Bachelor’s degree and a marketable profession with the least amount of time and cash expended. You’ve got the rest of your life to take additional classes in all your areas of interest. And allowing a friend to pay for your education is a really bad idea. Stuff happens in life- your friend becomes incapacitated, gets sued, is about to go bankrupt- you’re kind of on the hook as the bailout, right?
You need to refocus on getting a degree and getting a job. All these classes will still be there once you are a working, self-sufficient adult.
You might be onto the solution - the OP should look at careers in higher ed. Then he really could be a life long learner as they usually get to take classes for free.
I suggested this career path last week to someone who was on a similar path and finally finished a BS after years of courses and an Associates along the way. Good benefits, holidays, etc…
