| Program Goal
Com-STEM's main goal is
to increase the
number of students receiving associate and
baccalaureate degrees in the STEM disciplines. To
achieve this goal, our program intends to introduce,
implement and institutionalize efforts to:
- recruit students
into STEM disciplines from the pool of high
school graduates, non-traditional students, and
non-STEM majors,
- educate high
school teachers, principals, counselors, school
superintendents and parents of high school
students about the opportunities and benefits of
STEM careers,
- provide for
maximum engagement of students in educational
and professional activities related to STEM
education,
- promote
excellence among STEM students, and reward
students for demonstrating academic excellence.
