This course is part of the credit recovery instructional program developed in partnership with Rio Hondo College Continuing Education, Rio Hondo College Student Success, and El Rancho High School. The credit recovery program supports students seeking to complete secondary education requirements for college preparation. This course and its precursor (NBAS 030) align with the Science Framework for California Secondary Education and fulfill the minimum requirement for two courses in science (biological and physical sciences) for the high school diploma or its equivalent (i.e., a GED).
