Application for the 2021 Everett Community College STEM Bridge Program
The EvCC STEM Bridge Program, with funding from NASA, seeks to recruit diverse students into STEM at Everett Community College. The EvCC STEM Bridge Program will give you a huge jump start on college by assisting you with getting enrolled, helping you adjust to college level classes and explore careers, and creating a cohort of students with the same interests. Students will take a math class (depending on placement), College Success in Engineering & Computer Science (STEM 101), and Interdisciplinary Design Project (STEM 298). If you want to take an additional class an advisor will help you choose one. This program takes place in FALL quarter with some orientation and cohort building activities on September 16.
Presently, we are planning for this program to be partially in person at EvCC and partially online.
