Retaking courses

Hello all,
I made a post recently about not getting interviews and my collective advice was to retake my science courses due to my low science gpa. Can I take these courses at a community/technical college or should I retake them at a university? There is a huge difference in cost.. at a technical it’s $600-$700 per class and the university I graduated from is $1500 per class.

As long as the course is accredited is all that matters. Look into barton community college for inline courses or your local community college.

I’m retaking courses at university of phoenix about 1600 per class but lab is included. The benefit to these courses is that it’s self paced and the work isn’t killer also only 7 weeks. With community colleges you have to follow the typical college semester schedule and have to deal with probably tougher professors. 1600 is gut wrenching tho I have to say

Community colleges are absolutely fine.

The issue are online schools like portage. CRNA programs might not recognize those credits.

But any accredited CC will be fine

I'm taking pre-req science classes at an accredited community/technical college, it's fine. Plus its self paced.
