Earlier this month Sophia announced their new collaboration with Labster. Labster is a virtual lab (computer simulated) science lab platform. No more “kits” in the mail- this is full computer simulation. The first two options are Introduction to Chemistry Lab and Human Biology Lab, each worth 1 ACE college credit and available with or without their companion courses.

High School & College Credit in Biology
Looking for a way to get high school and college credit in Biology? Here’s the a list!
Option 1: Look local! Always start with this option for highest level of transfer, lowest cost, and best flexibility. Your local community college probably offers “dual enrollment” courses open to high school students, and sometimes they offer reduced for free tuition. Courses taken this way are transferred later into your target college.
Option 2: Out of state dual enrollment list. The colleges on this list will have “excellent” transferability like your local options, but you’ll have to participate remotely. Our list is open to students in any state, with the costs as low as $25 per credit. Courses taken this way are transferred later into your target college.
Option 3: Alternative credits the resources below are “alternative” ways of earning high school and college credit. Alternative credits transferability is ranked as follows: good, limited, very limited, special, not recommended as a general guideline, BUT, if you choose a partner college, then transfer is guaranteed.
