Below are some of the classes and starting dates


Anatomy & Physiology 1, Microbiology and Combined Org Chem and Biochemistry for Nursing and Health Professions on June 2nd.

Organic Chemistry 1 and Biology 1 on June 30th.


The Integrated Science Program (ISP) is an accelerated college-level science curriculum enabling you to finish your science classes and prerequisites in an intensive, weekend-based, immersion-learning format, based in Southern California's Los Angeles metropolitan area.

Students immerse themselves for one month focusing on one accelerated science class subject at a time, similar to an intensive summer program but instead ISP is offered all year round.

The ISP curriculum is an academically rigorous college science program. Our instructors are highly skilled and ISP student graduates are well prepared for their new careers in nursing, physical therapy, pharmacy, medicine and other healthcare professions.

ISP intensive science classes are specially designed for:

  working adults interested in the healthcare professions
  working adults interested in career change
  any student seeking an expedited path to completion of college science credits

ISP students enroll because:

  college science classes are transferable to post-secondary schools throughout the country
  student loans and payment plans are available
  weekend college science courses make for easy scheduling
  class size is small
  students are immersed in concentrated learning environments
  teaching faculty is exceptional
  students can choose from one or more science classes and take only those which they need to complete their science prerequisites

ISP offers 13 different weekend college science classes

  New course offering! Special college combined org chem and biochemistry CHEM(305) class for pre-nursing students.
  Accelerated anatomy & physiology classes are taught with human cadavers.
  Accelerated microbiology classes are offered every other month.
  ISP also offers biochemistry classes.

Many ISP graduates are already pursuing medical careers in:

  nursing (ADN, BSN, CNA, RN, LPN, LVN)
  medicine
  chiropractic
  dentistry and dental hygiene
  optometry
  osteopathic medicine
  veterinary
  pharmacy
  physical therapy
  podiatric medicine
  physician assistant

*If the college or university to which the student intends to transfer Integrated Science Program (ISP) courses requires 5 instead of 4 semester units per portion of a course (either 1 or 2), we offer 1 semester unit independent study courses for each formal course which provide empirically-based studies that enhance, deepen, and further integrate knowledge of the subject by developing different problem-solving skills and conceptual organization than those fostered in formal classroom and laboratory learning.
