Stepping into STEM: 6 Strategies for Successful College Applications

Considering a STEM major? Join our resident Collegewise STEM-vangelists on Wednesday, June 14 at 5:00 PM PDT to learn about the STEM fields, majors, and how students can best prepare.

About this Event

Curious about the role of math in agriculture, or of statistics in public health? Some people assume that STEM is just computer science and/or engineering, but the secret of STEM is that the fields are vast, complex, and interrelated.

Join two of our resident STEM-vangelists to discuss:

  • The differences within the STEM fields
  • What different majors in the different branches look like
  • How students can best prepare
  • And much more!

 

If your student is considering a STEM field to study in college and pursue as a career, this is a can't-miss event!
