Future Students

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!
