This program is intended to introduce interested first-time students to a variety of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) majors, as well as provide in-depth information related to these majors. Our main goal is to give students an introduction to the world of STEM while also making them aware of the services that can help them be successful college students. The program provides an introduction to STEM success strategies and student support services that aids in a smooth transition to a four-year university. This interactive experience will help to build a strong network of peers, faculty, and staff that will connect students with academic resources and encouragement needed throughout their education at Allan Hancock College and beyond!
First- generation college students majoring in STEM are highly encouraged to participate!
