Available Courses

NEW – For courses that contain both Parts A and B (i.e. Biology), students must complete both parts online within one calendar year to earn the 1.0 credit to fulfill graduation requirements. However, students have some flexibility and choice on when they complete Part A and Part B and are not required to complete both parts in summer.

For example, students can:

  • Complete Part A in ASU 1 summer session and Part B in the fall.
  • Complete Part A in ASU 2 summer session and Part B in the fall.
  • Complete Part A in ASU 1 summer session and Part B in ASU 2 summer session.

Note: Students who begin Part A of a course in the online setting must complete Part B in the online setting to receive the 1.0 credit.

This course allowsThis course allows students to learn about living organisms, including humans, and their interactions with
each other and their surroundings. This includes investigations regarding the health of human beings,
animals, organisms, and entire ecosystems. Students will learn how the advances in the study of biology
impact society and each of us as individuals and, in turn, how we each have an impact on the organisms
and environment around us. Ultimately and ideally, this will culminate in a newfound appreciation for the
interdependence of life on Earth. This online course is offered via ASU Prep Digital. While

In this course, students will investigate the chemistry around them: in medicine they take, services they
use, and the food they eat. Each of the key topics covered is brought together under the umbrella of
geohealth: the study of human health in the context of ecology, environmental science, climate change,
agriculture, waste and water management, and diseases. The course is taught through real world case
studies, where students take on the role of a chemist working with a team of experts to investigate
medical or environmental issues. In these case studies, students learn about topics like atomic structure,
phases of matter, stoichiometry, and thermodynamics in scenario-based learning where they complete
projects that require critical thinking, making and testing predictions, application, and synthesizing
multiple concepts to succeed. This online course is offered via ASU Prep Digital. While coursework

In this course students collaboratively solve medical mystery cases, similar to the approach used in many
medical schools. Students enhance their critical thinking skills as they examine data, draw conclusions,
diagnose, and treat patients. Students use problem-solving techniques in order to understand and
appreciate relevant medical/biological facts as they confront the principles and practices of medicine.
Students explore anatomy and physiology pertaining to medical scenarios and gain an understanding of
the disease process, demographics of disease, and pharmacology. Additional learning experiences
include studying current issues in health and medicine, building a community-service action plan,
interviewing a patient, and creating a new mystery case. This online course is offered via GOA and
has BOTH asynchronous and synchronous components. Students will need to attend Zoom
discussions and or presentations (not held daily).
