Available Courses

• BIO101 Biology 1

  This course is a comprehensive examination of the human organism. It begins with a survey of the principles and structures characteristic of all living things. The remainder of the course focuses on molecular biology, biochemistry, cell biology, histology, and genetics.
• BIO102 Biology 2

  This course continues with a comprehensive examination of the human organism. It focuses on histology, anatomy, and physiology of the major organ systems found in the human body. Nutrition and evolution are also discussed. Students gain a basic understanding of the structure and function of the human body on a variety of levels of organization.
• BIO201 Anatomy & Physiology 1

  This is a first semester equivalent of a two-semester equivalent sequence dealing with the structure and function of the human body and mechanisms for maintaining homeostasis within it. Topics include the study of cells, tissues, and the integumentary, skeletal, muscular and nervous systems.
• BIO202 Anatomy & Physiology 2

  This course is a continuation of the study of the structure and function of the human body and mechanisms for maintaining homeostasis within it. The endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, urinary and reproductive systems, as well as the concepts of nutrition, metabolism, development, fluid and electrolyte balance, and acid-base balance.
• BIO301 Microbiology

  This course is designed to convey general concepts, methods, and applications of microbiology for health sciences. Topics include: immunology, bacteriology, virology, and mycology; the morphology, biochemistry, and physiology of microorganisms including bacteria, viruses, and fungi; the diseases caused by these microorganisms and their treatments, and the immunologic, pathologic, and epidemiological factors associated with diseases.
• CHEM101 General Chemistry 1

  In this course students will become conversant with the scientific vernacular, chemical symbols, and notation. The nature of atoms and molecules in predating the properties and behavior of more complex systems will be considered.
• CHEM102 General Chemistry 2

  This course develops further the concepts of chemical bonding in order to appreciate the size, shape, polarity and macroscopic behavior of molecules.
• CHEM201 Organic Chemistry 1

  This course will begin with a review of some of the important concepts established in inorganic chemistry. The chemistry of carbon compounds will be distinguished from inorganic chemistry. The various classes of aliphatic and aromatic compounds will be examined.
• CHEM202 Organic Chemistry 2

  This course further elaborates functional groups with emphasis on alcohols, phenols, ethers, aldehydes, ketones, amides, esters, amines, and carboxylic acids Once the nature and reactivity of these functional groups is understood, the more important biological examples will be stressed and elaborated.
• CHEM301 Biochemistry

  This course examines the structure and function of the following biological macromolecules in the context of cellular integrity, dynamics and metabolism: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids. Topics include enzymology, bioenergetics, catabolism, anabolism, regulation of gene expression, biotechnology, hormone regulation of mammalian metabolism and the pre-biotic evolution of life on earth.
• MATH101 Math

  This course is a requirement to enroll in ISP’s General Chemistry and Physics courses for students who have not met the minimum standards of mathematic preparation, as measured by a placement test administered by ISP. This is a 2-unit lower division course. The course prepares students for the quantitative study of concepts in general chemistry and physics.
• PHY101 Physics 1

  This non-calculus, algebra/trigonometry based physics course will include the following topics: Motion in one and two dimensions, velocity, acceleration, forces and Newton’s Laws of motion, linear and angular momentum, circular motion, center of mass, torque, mechanics of rigid bodies, work, kinetic energy, and potential energy, Newton’s Law of gravitation, Kepler’s Laws, and simple harmonic motion. Problem solving skills will be strongly emphasized.
• PHY102 Physics 2

  This non-calculus, algebra/trigonometry based physics course will include the following topics: Sound, wave interference, geometrical optics, heat, temperature, gas laws, thermodynamics, electricity, magnetism, relativity, quantum mechanics, and nuclear physics. A non-calculus approach will be used with only as much algebra and trigonometry as is required to give a precise treatment of physical problems. Problem solving will be strongly emphasized.
