Please note: General science is intended to help students bridge the gap between middle and high school science. A student who has not completed pre-algebra or who lacks science fundamentals like significant figures, unit conversions, etc. may benefit from taking general science before IPC. Students who have completed pre-algebra and who have a strong science background may move from Earth science to IPC and omit general science.
