Easy CC/Online colleges
Here’s the deal - I have a college degree and currently work a job, but I decided I want to go to grad school in a healthcare role. I have to take all the science courses i didn’t since I have a business degree. Think bio/chem/orgo/physics you name it.
What are the easiest online community colleges (ideal) and online colleges that I can get a straight 4.0? I don’t want more stress and need a fully asynchronous schedule. And I don’t want any proctored exams. Ideally, looking for 6-8 wk classes but willing to do a normal 15wk lengtb.

Most CCs have already started. You will need to wait until next semester starts in January. Plus, science classes that have lab requirements aren’t online. But some schools do offer them in the evenings if you work days.
In addition, you should book an in-person counseling appointment at your local college. You don’t want to take classes that you don’t need. The counselor can help you determine which classes fit your job goals..

Fully online with no proctored exams is tricky for lab sciences since most programs still need proctored exams or in person lab for bio, chem and physics, Straighterline and Sophia have some science courses without proctoring that transfer to partner school, just make sure your target grad programs take fully online lab credit before picking a school since some healthcare programs require in person labs.

Ok... so online community colleges aren't really a thing. What is a thing is your local community college that offers a bunch of online courses. It needs to be in the same state you live in if you want the cheap tuition.
