  • Increase transfer rates to four year Colleges and Universities.
  • Provide students with academic and support services.
  • Provide students with the skills needed to enter the world-class STEM workforce.

 

The Project’s goals for the Paterson and Passaic Public Schools Districts are to:

  • Stimulate and inspire students by utilizing hands-on, collaborative learning activities to motivate High School students to excel in STEM areas.
  • Create and expand awareness of STEM career opportunities in S.T.E.M. fields.
  • Offer S.T.E.M. Dual Enrollment courses both off-site at the High Schools and on-site at the College to expand STEM education.
