Section D · Laboratory Science

Pre-AP Chemistry

UC A-G approved Pre-AP Chemistry course delivered fully online through immersive VR and AI-enhanced instruction.

1 Year Online · Remote / Hybrid / In-Person Chemistry Grades 9, 10 10 credits

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.

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.
