North Carolina State University (NCSU) and North Carolina Agricultural and TechnicalState University (NC A&T) are collaborating in developing a program designed toincrease the number of graduates in science, technology, engineering and mathematics(STEM). Specific program elements include a summer camp at NCSU for graduatinghigh school students who have not selected their majors, summer bridge programs at bothNCSU and NC A&T designed to prepare new STEM students for introductory collegescience and math courses, undergraduate research programs at both schools, tutoring andmentoring of STEM majors and a faculty exchange program between the two campuses.A comprehensive monitoring program is included to track all students in the program andto provide the data required to evaluate each program element. Success in the programwill result in an increase in the number of STEM graduates, through both an increase inthe number of entering majors and an increase in retention.
