Preference is given to the academically gifted and economically disadvantaged. This three-week program is designed to provide an intense introduction to the college environment and the academic preparation necessary for a career in science. The program begins by exposing participants to a variety of sciences through lecture-laboratories and field trips to local industries and museums.
Students then select an area of concentration in biology, chemistry or physics.
They spend eight hours a day in the lab, conducting research in small groups under the direction of a mentor. Near the end, the participants write a paper about their project. On the morning of the last day, they present the results of their research to faculty, parents and friends. This page designed by Danny DeMarco and Willie Brown.
