Center for Mathematical Achievement in Science and Technology
Pre-Freshman Academy
FOCUS OF THE PRE-FRESHMAN ACADEMY
The Pre-Freshman Academy is a two week enrichment designed to strengthen
the participating student’s preparation for university level mathematics.
A further aim is to increase student academic success in the pursuit of
a Bachelor of Science
Degree in a STEM area.
Participating students engage in the manipulation of mathematical concepts
and methods for solving problems that are often encountered in STEM areas.
Students interpret and analyze data gathered from a variety of scientific
experiments. Additionally, study skills that are vital to success in STEM
areas are highlighted.
