The primary objective of the PAthways to Careers in MAthematics and Computer Science (PACMACS) Bridge program at Saint Joseph's University (SJU) is to train and educate academically talented but financially disadvantaged minority students for careers in mathematics and computer science by providing them with an excellent, comprehensive, undergraduate education. SJU presently runs PACMACS, an innovative outreach program, for bright minority high school students from Philadelphia public and charter high schools. High school seniors (and exceptional juniors) in PACMACS attend up to 4 college classes at SJU (in mathematics and computer science), and receive college and career guidance.The PACMACS Bridge program is designed to help those students make the transition to full-time college once they are enrolled at SJU after graduating from high school. The PACMACS Bridge program is a comprehensive package of financial, academic and social support offer to undergraduates in the mathematics and computer science department at SJU. Students obtain financial support through the University Financial Aid Office and NSF CSEMS funding. Six to 10 eligible students will be identified and awarded CSEMS scholarships.Academic support programs include faculty mentors, upper level undergraduate student mentors, supervised study sessions, tutoring services and individualized attention in the small classes available at SJU. Social support programs include seminars on college life, peer support groups and panel discussions on cultural diversity to assist the students in the cultural adjustment to an urban, predominantly Caucasian Catholic University.

圣约瑟夫大学 (SJU) 数学和计算机科学职业之路 (PACMACS) 桥梁课程的主要目标是通过为有学术才华但经济困难的少数族裔学生提供优秀、全面的本科教育，为他们提供数学和计算机科学职业生涯的培训和教育。 SJU 目前正在为费城公立和特许高中的聪明少数族裔高中生运营 PACMACS，这是一项创新的外展计划。 PACMACS 的高中生（和优秀的三年级学生）在 SJU 参加最多 4 门大学课程（数学和计算机科学），并接受大学和职业指导。 PACMACS 桥梁计划旨在帮助这些学生在高中毕业后进入 SJU 后过渡到全日制大学。 PACMACS Bridge 计划是为 SJU 数学和计算机科学系本科生提供的全面的财务、学术和社会支持。学生通过大学财政援助办公室和 NSF CSEMS 资助获得经济支持。将确定 6 至 10 名符合条件的学生并授予 CSEMS 奖学金。学术支持计划包括教师导师、高年级本科生导师、监督学习课程、辅导服务以及 SJU 小班授课的个性化关注。社会支持计划包括关于大学生活的研讨会、同伴支持小组和关于文化多样性的小组讨论，以帮助学生适应以白人为主的城市天主教大学的文化。
