The Recommended Program requires the following three credits in sequence:

IPC, Biology & Chemistry  or  Biology, Chemistry & Physics

 

Prerequisites :  You must be enrolled in or have completed the math courses listed after the science course as indicated below.   Consult the course descriptions for additional information.

Biology (pre AP) - Geometry

Biology (AP) - Chemistry

Chemistry - Algebra II

Chemistry (AP) – Pre Calculus

Physics I  - Pre Calculus

Physics (AP) – Calculus

Environmental Systems AP - Chemistry

Health Science Technology I – Sophomore Standing

 

Science Electives: These courses are intended to enhance the science education of the student, but do not fulfill the 3^rd year science requirements for the Recommended or Distinguished Achievement Program.  Students must have two science credits ( Biology & IPC or Biology  & Chemistry ) before enrolling in any science elective except Health Science Technology I.

 

1. Anatomy and Physiology                           6. Molecular Genetics ( Intro. to Biotechnology)

2. Aquatic Science                                          7. Health Science Technology I

3. Environmental Systems                             8. Health Science Technology II

4. Environmental Systems AP                       9. Lab Management (one or two Semesters)

5. GMO (Geology-Meteorology-Oceanography)
