Online Environmental Science Course from BYU

<p>My D wants to take Environmental Science (category g - elective) course from BYU (Independent Study/ online). BYU is an approved provider for online courses. But, I didn't see Environmental Science course as an approved course on UC's website.</p>

<p>So, will UC accept this course?</p>

<p>Is she in college or high school?
I imagine that the UCs offer environmental science themselves, which is why they don’t have BYUs course on a approved list.
Normally you can only take courses your school doesn’t offer elsewhere after you matriculated.</p>

<p>She is in high school.</p>

<p>Check with her HS. </p>

<p>Does she need this course to fulfill the a-g requirements or does she just want to take it because she’s interested in it? If it’s the latter then it doesn’t matter what UC thinks of it.</p>

<p>I checked the UCOP site and you’re right - it’s not listed as acceptable for the requirements - but that doesn’t matter as long as she has the requirements already covered.</p>

<p>Looks like the only BYU Independent Study courses that the UCs have said that they will accept for g credit is AP Psychology. Sounds like you’ll have to ask the UCs about the Environmental Science course specifically to get an answer.</p>
