The Integrated Science Program
Learn Science in Months Not Years


The Integrated Science Program (ISP) is an accelerated college-level science curriculum enabling you to finish your science classes in an intensive, weekend-based, immersion-learning format.

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 science program. Our instructors are highly skilled and ISP student graduates are well prepared for their new careers.

ISP science classes are specially designed for:

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

ISP students enroll because:

  science classes are transferable to post-secondary schools throughout the country
  financial aid 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 classes and take only those which they need to complete their requirements


ISP offers 13 different weekend college science classes

  New course offering! Special chemistry CHEM(302) 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 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.
