The Texas Southern University Upward Bound Math-Science program is a six-week residential initiative designed for high school students from eligible backgrounds who are interested in STEM fields. The program provides intensive instruction in mathematics and laboratory sciences, aiming to enhance participants' academic skills and prepare them for postsecondary education in STEM disciplines. Students engage in specialized STEM enrichment activities, hands-on research opportunities, and gain exposure to various STEM careers. The curriculum includes academic instruction in subjects like mathematics, laboratory sciences, composition, literature, and foreign languages. Beyond academics, the program also focuses on developing basic communication and mathematical skills, test-taking strategies, career awareness, and social development skills. Participants receive academic tutoring, mentoring, and college readiness support, including SAT/ACT preparation and assistance with college and financial aid applications. The program's holistic approach aims to foster intellectual and cultural motivation, enriching students' social and personal awareness, and ultimately increasing their rates of enrollment in and graduation from higher education institutions.
A typical day involves academic classes, special interest classes, cultural activities, and recreational sports.
