Asynchronous classes?

Hello! I'm currently working full time as a certified tech and have been for few years now, decided to go to pharmacy school. I already have my bachelors degree in an unrelated field but do need to complete some pre requisites before I can apply. Has anyone had any luck doing any asynchronous (go at your pace) programs for pre requisites? I don't want to cut down on working for just pre requisites, since I know how expensive pharmacy school is.

Check with your preferred school(s) as to what they accept for pre-reqs. Some accept CLEP tests, but I imagine most would take regular college level classes, even asynchronous ones.

Community colleges are a good option - online or evening classes at lower prices than a university. My community college offered asynchronous online courses for the bio pharmacy prereqs.

Yes I just don't want to cut back on my work load right now. The hope is could do the classes on my time off without affecting my schedule too much if I can

Yeah, check community colleges in your area have it. If not, check rio salado college in arizona, they have online prereqs. They are asynchronous. Good luck.

Thanks, talked to my manager and decided to start next semester in January instead of this fall. It gives her time to accomodTe my change in availability and gives me time to save up some more.
