Online AnatomyLooking for online classes for anatomy and physiology? Mayville State University offers two of only a handful of Anatomy and Physiology I and II courses that include a completely online lab and meet the requirements of many nursing programs.

Please note the online labs are actual labs, not virtual labs. Dissection with specimens is required and virtual dissection is not an option. There will be no exceptions.  You may enroll in the lecture and lab courses, just the lecture course, or just the lab course. Read a previous student's testimony on the educational value of actual labs involving dissection with specimens.

Please note that Mayville State University's courses are NOT self-paced.  You must enroll for a semester term, and complete assignments over the duration of the semester.

I love the small classroom feel and comfort. The transition from high school to college was more manageable on this scale. I’m a biology major, and I play baseball. I’ve found an unbreakable team bond and lifelong friends here.
