The Baruch College STEP Academy is a New York State Education Department-funded, free pre-college program specifically designed to provide STEM enrichment and college readiness to eligible middle and high school students.
The Baruch College STEP Academy is a New York State Education Department-funded pre-college program designed for middle and high school students interested in pursuing STEM professions. The program offers a 4-week summer intensive, as well as academic year programs on Saturdays during the fall and spring semesters. Students engage in workshops and enrichment courses in math, science, and college preparation. The curriculum includes advanced work in STEM subjects, specialized lectures in fields like health professions, computer science, engineering, and business, and test preparation for Regents and SAT exams. Students also have opportunities to conduct scientific research and present their findings. The program aims to foster curiosity in STEM fields through hands-on experiences and to prepare historically underrepresented or economically disadvantaged students for postsecondary degree programs in scientific, technical, and health-related fields.
During the summer intensive, students participate in one STEM enrichment or research-based course, attending classes Monday through Thursday. The program concludes with an annual showcase where students present posters and projects.
The program is ideal for New York State residents in grades 7-12 with a minimum 80 average in Math, Science, English, and overall, who are interested in STEM careers and meet state-determined economic criteria or identify as historically underrepresented.
