New Programs

   

The Integrated Science Curriculum (ISC) is a gateway program for students who want to study the foundations of science in an integrated, active-learning environment.  The ISC integrates biological sciences, physics, chemistry, calculus, statistics, and computer science.  Students can enjoy small classes and close interactions with peers and top research faculty while learning the foundations of physical, mathematical, and life science in Virginia Tech's new SCALE-UP active-learning classroom.

ISC students will be uniquely prepared not only for traditional majors in the College of Science, but also emerging interdisciplinary degrees and programs that are currently under development (nanoscience, neuroscience, computational science, and systems biology).
