The Integrated Science Program (ISP) is an innovative 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 subject at a time, similar to an intensive summer program but instead ISP is offered all year round.
The ISP curriculum is academically rigorous. Our instructors are highly skilled and ISP student graduates are well prepared for their new careers.
ISP 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:
| • | ISP offers 12 different science classes | |
| • | New offering! ISP now offers biochemistry classes | |
| • | microbiology classes are offered every other month | |
| • | anatomy & physiology classes are taught with human cadavers | |
| • | classes are transferable to post-secondary schools throughout the country | |
| • | students can choose from one or more classes and take only those which they need to complete their requirements | |
| • | students seek pre-medical prerequisites | |
| • | students seek to become a pharmacist | |
| • | 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. | |
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 |

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 |
| Biochemistry * 4 units |
1 month | 3 months | 6 months |
| 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.
