The Historically Black Colleges and Universities Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP) provides support for the design, implementation, and assessment of strategies that can lead to comprehensive institutional efforts to increase the number of students receiving undergraduate degrees in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) and enhance the quality of their preparation by strengthening STEM education and research. The project at Hinds Community College - Utica seeks to establish the foundation for a "Cohesive Community College STEM Institutional Transformation Academy". The goals of the project are: to establish summer bridge programs, to strengthen the 2-year STEM curriculum at the college, and to facilitate entrance of students into 4-year STEM programs.Activities that are part of this project are: meetings with the advisory boards and partnering school districts and universities for planning purposes; faculty development and training in redesigning of science, mathematics, and computer science courses; a two- week summer pre-college bridge program for rising 11th graders; a five-week summer pre-college component for entering STEM freshman; and collaborations with partnering 4-year institutions, such as Jackson State University and Alcorn University. The project will be guided by an on-going evaluation.

历史上的黑人学院和大学本科课程（HBCU-UP）为战略的设计，实施和评估提供支持，这些战略可以导致全面的机构努力，以增加获得科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）本科学位的学生数量，并通过加强STEM教育和研究来提高他们的准备质量。Hinds社区学院-尤蒂卡的项目旨在为“有凝聚力的社区学院STEM机构转型学院”奠定基础。该项目的目标是：建立夏桥计划，加强学院的2年STEM课程，并促进学生进入4年STEM课程。该项目的一部分活动是：与咨询委员会和合作学区和大学举行会议，以规划为目的;教师发展和培训，重新设计科学，数学和计算机科学课程;一个为期两周的夏季大学预科衔接项目，为即将升入11年级的学生提供;一个为期五周的夏季大学预科项目，为进入STEM的新生提供;以及与杰克逊州立大学和奥尔康大学等四年制合作机构的合作。该项目将以一项正在进行的评价为指导。
