Schedule of Classes
The Integrated Science Program (ISP) is an innovative weekend science curriculum enabling you to finish your science classes in an accelerated format.
Students immerse themselves for one month focussing on one subject at a time, similar to an intensive summer program but instead ISP is offered all year round.
ISP classes are specially designed for:
| • | working adults interested in the health care professions | |
| • | working adults interested in career change | |
| • | any student seeking an accelerated path to completion of science credits. |
ISP students enroll because:
| • | classes are transferable to post-secondary schools throughout the country | |
| • | ISP classes do not require prerequisites | |
| • | weekend classes make for easy scheduling | |
| • | class size is small | |
| • | students are immersed in concentrated learning environments | |
| • | teaching faculty is exceptional | |
| • | Financial aid and payment plans are available. |
Comparison chart below demonstrates how ISP students complete science classes in months not years.
| Classes | ISP | Quarter System | Semester System |
| General Chemistry 1 & 2 8 units including 2 units of lab * |
2 months | 6 months | 1 year |
| Organic Chemistry 1 & 2 8 units including 2 units of lab * |
2 months | 6 months | 1 year |
| Physics 1 & 2 8 units including 2 units of lab * |
2 months | 6 months | 1 year |
| Biology 1 & 2 8 units including 2 units of lab * |
2 months | 6 months | 1 year |
| Anatomy & Physiology 1 & 2 8 units including 2 units of lab |
2 months | 6 months | 1 year |
| Microbiology 4 units including 1 unit of lab |
1 month | 3 months | 6 months |
*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.
ISP does not require students to complete any prerequisite classes prior to enrollment in our program. For example, students can enroll immediately into ISP's General Chemistry 1 class without taking 'Introduction to Chemistry'. This applies to all of our course offerings, including Biology, Anatomy & Physiology, Microbiology and Physics.
Many ISP graduates are already pursuing careers in:
| • | medicine | |
| • | nursing | |
| • | dentistry | |
| • | osteopathy | |
| • | veterinary | |
| • | pharmacy | |
| • | physical therapy | |
| • | chiropractic |
