STEM Program prepares students for 4-year degrees

A new student support program offering scholarships are encouraging WCC students to pursue four-year degrees in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. The program will officially kick off its first year in the Fall semester, but the first group of 26 students were on campus for a summer portion, learning social and academic skills. The students age range is from 17 to 39, and are studying engineering, physics, biochemistry and informational science. For more information, contact advising and counseling at (734) 677-5102

Adult Transitions Pathways program at WCC moving beyond GED

WCC’s ATP program is pushing their students beyond the GED with the help of the staff and faculty at WCC. The program serves approximately 400 academically underprepared and economically disadvantaged students per year at three locations: the WCC main campus in Ann Arbor, the Harriet Street Center in Ypsilanti, and the Ypsilanti Township Community Center. They use an Integrated Education and Training model that allows GED students to co-enroll in certain WCC certificate programs. For more information, contact (734) 677-5006.
