Are you interested in pursuing a Science, Technology, Engineering or Math (STEM) degree, but think you're not ready or don't know where to start?
STEM Core is a one-year STEM-preparatory program with an emphasis in math, designed to help students finish pre-requisite courses in order to major in the sciences. As a STEM Core student, you will become a part of a learning community that will provide STEM counseling, career advising, tutoring, and one-on-one support to get you ready to pursue a STEM degree.
When you become a STEM Core student, you take required math and science courses during your first year. After successful completion, you will be ready to start taking higher-level science and math courses. Hispanic, low-income, and/or first-generation college students are particularly encouraged to apply.
Upon completion of program requirements, students may be eligible for paid summer internships with a STEM Core Employer, sponsor, or other regional employers. If accepted, participants will be required to attend a mandatory summer orientation on Monday, August 12.
Students are required to participate in career exploration (i.e., workshops, job fairs, job board account creation, field trips, one-on-one appointments) and/or other related workshops coordinated by the STEM Counselor and/or Career Center (minimum 4 activities per semester).
Upon completion of program requirements, students may be eligible for a paid summer internship with a STEM Core Employer / Sponsor or other regional employers
