Online College For Single Math Course?
My wife needs to finish her Air Force degree and all she needs is 3 credit hours in a math course, but she needs it in the next 3 months and no one near us is offering a math course. Please recommend a University/College that does online individual courses, must be accredited, hard work is not a problem, can’t do proctored exams (travel constantly), prefer under 0 (tuition assistance), NOT PHOENIX (not paying over 00 for a single course). Thanks for suggestions.
We’re in New Mexico right now. The colleges that we have spoken to that required a proctored final, required that you set up the test before the course even began, she doesn’t know where she’ll be at that time, so she can’t set it up. Honestly she could care less about the "quality" of the education, it’s a single math course and she’s an adult with no desire to become a mathematician.

Where are you, please? I would try Axia(UOP), AIU, or Colorado. I have heard good things about all. I am a University of Phoenix student. Tuition is not $1600 per course. Perhaps you were misquoted? I would try to check into the local and state colleges for in state tuition since your budget is limited. You may have to wait for a class to start though. You’ll have to decide which is more important, getting it done now or budget. Good luck.
Look at Brigham Young University – http://ce.byu.edu/is/site/courses/select.cfm?type=univ
or
Louisiana State University – http://www.is.lsu.edu/courselist.asp?level=CO&online=0&nid=102
They’re well respected, transfer easily, teach you something, and the costs can’t be beat at most 4-year universities.
Just because there’s constant travel doesn’t mean you can’t do a proctored exam. You can’t tell me there’s not a proctor available somewhere for a few hours. Especially around the military. There’s a public librarian in every town in the world. Don’t let that single issue be a deal breaker because reality is that the best online programs are going to require a proctored final.
Unproctored finals is among the top reasons to have a transfer credit rejected.
Her other option is to self-study for one of the CLEP/DANTES math exams. The CLEP math general (6 hours) isn’t too bad.
Try Bryant & Stratton, or Grand Canyon University.
Doesn’t the military offer something – initials something like USAFI?
