COLLEGE SCIENCE REQUIREMENTS FOR

PHYSICIAN ASSISTANT SCHOOL STUDENTS

 

Physician Assistant College Course Prerequisites

 

ISP students get a head start on their new careers as a physician assistant and in the health sciences by completing prerequisite college science classes in an accelerated, weekend-based format. ISP is an academically rigorous program enabling college science courses to be completed in one month versus one semester. ACCELERATED PRE-PHYSICIAN ASSISTANT COURSES

 

ISP is a trusted academic program. Students seeking to satisfy college science prerequisites for physician assistant programs enroll in ISP's weekend classes every Saturday and Sunday from 8:30am-6:30pm for four consecutive weekends taking one course at a time. For example, it takes just three months to complete college Anatomy & Physiology 1 & 2 and college Microbiology.

 

ISP pre-physician assistant students go on to pursue professional physician assistant programs at colleges and universities regionally and nationally.

 

PHYSICIAN ASSISTANT SCHOOL TRANSFER CREDITS

 

The Integrated Science Program is located at Southern California University of Health Sciences (SCU) in Whittier, California. SCU is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). ISP students have transferred to physician assistant programs regionally and nationally. Students are encouraged to contact their physician assistant school of choice before enrolling in ISP to assure credit transferability. The academic counselors at SCU can assist ISP students in their efforts to transfer college course credits, if necessary.

 

TAKE ONLY CLASSES YOU NEED

You build your own schedule of classes and enroll just in courses you need to complete your physician assistant requirements. ISP classes do not require prerequisites.

ISP is legit. Take it. I know people who did and are current RCC PA students. I went there and a few others at my program at Touro NV. I also know people who went there with me that are attending at Western U, Loma Linda, SMU, Touro CA and some other out of state schools.

 

I do however recommend you take a few classes at RCC to help increase your chances of getting in there. Doesn't matter which class it is really but at least be an enrolled student with a transcript from RCC.

Has anyone here actually taken the classes from ISP?   Are they looked down upon by admissions committees compared to the same class from a typical community college?
