As a result of a 1998 bond measure passed by voters in the San Jose community, a $16 million state-of-the-art science building is in the architectural stages of planning by chemistry, biology, physics, and technology faculty. The expected date of completion is 2007.

Peer-Led Team Learning (PLTL) is a small-group collaborative approach to learning, studying, and orally communicating chemistry as well as biology, math and physics. Click on the first link to find out our current semester’s schedule of PLTL workshops. Students who become peer leaders earn a modest stipend and are offered opportunities to participate in: local and national conferences, internships, and more.
