The program offers a unique opportunity for eligible high school students to experience college life at a top STEM university while receiving comprehensive academic and personal support at no cost.
The Upward Bound Math and Science (UBMS) program at Colorado School of Mines is a free, six-week summer program designed for high school students from Alameda International Jr/Sr High School. The program aims to strengthen math and science skills, preparing participants for college degrees and careers in STEM fields. Students engage in intensive instruction in subjects like mathematics (Geometry, Algebra II, Pre-Calculus, Calculus), chemistry, biology, physics, earth science, foreign languages, English composition, and literature. The curriculum also incorporates student success topics, including ACT/SAT test preparation, college applications, financial aid, and life skills. Participants gain hands-on learning experiences through field trips, cultural events, and opportunities for participant-conducted scientific research under the guidance of university faculty or graduate student mentors. The program includes a residential component where students live in Mines residence halls, providing a preview of college life. Beyond the summer, UBMS offers year-round academic support, tutoring, and advising to ensure students are well-equipped for post-secondary education.
A typical day involves attending classes in various math and science subjects, participating in workshops on college preparation and life skills, and engaging in hands-on learning experiences or scientific research.
This program is best for high school students from Alameda International Jr/Sr High School who are low-income, potential first-generation college students, and demonstrate an interest in pursuing college degrees and careers in math and science.
