Who Are We?
The Collegiate Science and Technology Entry Program is funded by the New York State Department of Education. The Collegiate Science and Technology Entry Program (CSTEP) is designed to increase the number of economically disadvantaged students pursuing professional licensure and careers in mathematics, science, technology, and health-related fields. The program provides academic support services and enrichment activities to undergraduate students in these areas, helping them prepare for the workforce and/or advanced studies and research in STEM fields.
We accomplish these objectives by:
- Offering instructional programs
- Facilitating participation in scholarly activities
- Conducting conferences and workshops
- Providing support for guided research and industry sponsored internships, and
- Conducting programs aimed at developing skills and competencies for ethical and professional practice in the student鈥檚 chosen field
While CSTEP brings together faculty and students from a broad spectrum of academic programs on campus to undertake projects of mutual interest, the program also promotes and initiates collaborative activities with science and technology programs at other institutions in the region.
Who Are We Looking For?
We seek economically disadvantaged students who are interested in STEM, heath, or licensed professions, and are looking to actively participate in a comprehensive program experience. Please see our eligibility page for more information.
