FirstSTEP: A Preliminary Review of the Effects of a Summer Bridge Program on Pre-College STEM Majors
Raines, Joan M. – Journal of STEM Education: Innovations and Research, 2012
More emphasis should be placed on what can be done to help encourage and prepare students choosing STEM-based majors to enter college, be successful, and graduate. Summer bridge programs can provide pre-college experiences to help attract and retain future STEM majors by exposing them to experiences they would encounter in college math and science…
