What is the Integrated Science Curriculum?

ISC is a two-year lecture/lab course sequence that integrates biology, chemistry, physics, calculus, and linear algebra.  It is an alternative pathway to earn credit for these courses. Here is a presentation that we use to introduce ISC to prospective and new students: ISC Information Session June 2025

When and Where are the ISC Classes Held?

The ISC takes place during a student’s first and second year, and meets Monday through Friday mid-day with labs during the afternoon twice per week.

The ISC classes and labs are taught in the New Classroom Building.

You’re a good fit for the ISC program if…

  • You love all of the sciences and want to see how they work together!
  • You are looking for a new challenge!
  • You are looking for a smaller classroom setting!
  • You are interested in medical school!
