SDSU has been awarded a center to serve 25 Region IX students (Arizona, California, Hawaii, Nevada, New Mexico; American Samoa, Guam, Palau and Federal States of Micronesia and U.S. Commonwealth of Puerto Rico) and 25 local San Diego students for an intensive summer program. The summer component has a balanced core curriculum (for entering 11th and 12th graders) of several levels of math, writing, and reading combined with courses that begin to simulate college work in the sciences—botany, physical science, environmental ecology and molecular biology—as well as computer applications to math/science problems. Students also participate in workshops in career exploration and adolescent issues. All students participate in major research projects based on their science or math focus. Co-curricular workshops, career activities, evening tutorials, and scientific field trips supplement the courses.
Our Purpose
The Upward Bound Math/Science pre-college program strives to create a harmonious, multicultural, educational community of students with high potential who demonstrate a strong desire to acquire higher education. This educational community promotes, for both students and staff, a sense of belonging, self-pride, and an ethos of personal responsibility with a deep commitment to give back to the larger community. The educational community provides curriculum opportunities for academic accomplishment, self-governance, individual and group empowerment, as well as personal and cultural growth.
