The Utica Campus Community College Transformation HBCU-UP Initiative

Hinds社区学院区自然科学部计划制定并实施一项倡议，以增加完成学士学位的学生人数。预期的策略是加强支持学生的桥梁。从高中到社区大学，从社区大学到学位授予机构，攻读STEM学士学位。这项工作建立在早期的无资金需求评估的基础上，包括SACS自学。HCC正在努力确定需要改进的具体组成部分，以便为学生提供高质量的本科STEM教育。从HCC到学位授予机构攻读STEM学士学位。计划的活动包括：数据收集和分析，与当地学校和企业协商，以及实地考察示范项目。海因兹社区学院（HCC），尤蒂卡校区，是一所历史悠久的小型黑人社区学院，位于密西西比州海因兹县。HCC区有10700多名学分学生，其中50%以上是少数民族。一个强大的STEM项目和课程/专业发展模式可以影响全区代表性不足的少数民族学生，并作为该州其他地区的榜样。

ABSTRACT HRD 0928354The Natural Science Division of Hinds Community College District is planning to develop and implement an initiative to increase the number of students who complete B.S. degrees. The anticipated strategy is to strengthen bridges that support students? articulation from high school to community college and from community college to degree-granting institutions in pursuit of a B.S. degree in STEM. This effort builds on an early unfunded needs assessment including a SACS self-study. HCC is working to identify specific components that need improvement in order to provide a high quality undergraduate STEM education to support students? articulation from HCC to degree-granting institutions in pursuit of a B.S. degree in STEM. Planned activities include: data collection and analysis, consultation with area schools and businesses, and site visits to model programs.Hinds Community College (HCC), Utica Campus, is a small Historically Black Community College located in Hinds County, Mississippi. The HCC district has more than 10,700 credit students and is more than 50 percent minority. A strong STEM program and curriculum/professional development model can affect underrepresented minority students district-wide and serve as a model for the rest of the state.
