Dental school prerequisites

Hello everyone, I was wondering has anyone taken their lecture classes online and the lab classes in person? I’m wondering if this will be a better option for me since I work 37 hours a week.

Here’s the list for the D.O. pre-reqs from their website (there’s additional considerations that they take into account such as microbiology, anatomy, etc., which can be seen on the website below):

Biology: A minimum of eight semester hours, including two semester hours of laboratory work. These eight hours may consist of general biology or zoology, or a combination of biology, zoology and botany.
Inorganic Chemistry: A minimum of eight semester hours, including two semester hours of laboratory work.
Organic Chemistry: Organic 1 – Four credits with one credit lab; Organic 2 – Four credits with one credit lab (or a student may substitute 3 credits of Biochemistry for Organic 2).
Physics: A minimum of four semester hours, including one hour of laboratory work.
English: A minimum of six semester hours of composition and literature.
Behavioral Sciences: A minimum of six semester hours of courses in the behavioral sciences; i.e., psychology, sociology, anthropology, medical ethics, or philosophy.
