    Course Requirements

    Requirements:
    3 units of Science. 1 unit must be Biology I. The remaining 2 units must be equally rigorous science courses. 2 of the 3 required course units must have a laboratory component.

    Additional Context:
    Industry Certifications that lead to college credit may substitute for up to one science credit (except for Biology I). An identified computer science unit may substitute for up to one science unit as long as the same computer science unit is not used to substitute a math credit as well (except for Biology I).
