Kentucky State University has a new program that prepares future college students for study in the STEM areas – science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
The 2015 Summer Apprenticeship Program hosts 30 minority rising juniors interested in STEM careers. The three-week residential program, which runs June 7 – 27, 2015, introduces the high school students to undergraduate-level STEM programs and helps them gain experience in college-level research. The program is funded for 2015, 2016 and 2017.
The apprenticeship program will also help KSU recruit students to its STEM programs and retain students once they are enrolled, according to Dr. Buddhi Gyawali, assistant professor of geographic information systems in the College of Agriculture, Food Science and Sustainable Systems.
