Section DUC A‑G Requirement
Laboratory Science — 2 years required (3 recommended)
Must include at least two of the three foundational sciences: Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. Each course must have a meaningful lab component. Integrated or interdisciplinary sciences may qualify.
UC Honors Designation
AP Science scores of 3–5 earn 1 extra weighted GPA point and can satisfy university lab science requirements.
Why This Matters for College Admission
Laboratory science demonstrates hands-on analytical skills. Most STEM programs at UC require 3+ years. VR-based lab simulations meet UC lab requirements.
