The MSUB summer 2010 application is now available online here.
Math/Science Upward Bound (MSUB) offers an intensive summer academy in marine biology for TRIO eligible students from all over federal region IX (i.e. Arizona, California, Nevada, Hawaii, and Pacific Islands.) These high school students reside on the University of California, Santa Cruz campus for six weeks and follow a rigorous schedule of classes in marine biology, mathematics, communications, foreign language, and computer skills. The goal of the program is to increase the number of low-income, first generation college students entering into math and science majors and careers. Along with the rigorous academic program, personal development workshops are offered to foster self-awareness, understanding of others and college orientation. A residential counselor deals with personal and emotional problems, while a high staff to student ratio results in lots of personal attention to students. The program achieves a good balance of social and recreational activities along with a demanding academic curriculum where basic skill development is imbedded in core curricula. Equally important is the residential experience that simulates the college atmosphere for high school students.
