ProGram comPonentsAcademic Chapter of Excellence (ACE) Club The ACE Club is an after school academic organization that provides peer support for students interested in science, mathematics, engineering, and technology.
Saturday Academy A series of courses and field trips held at the Pre-College Program sites during the school year.
Summer Programs Academic activities that include the Summer Scholars Program and the Pre-College Research Experiences Program (PREP).
MSEN Day Students compete in mathematics, science, engineering, and technology at a statewide annual competition held at one of the nine host universities of Pre-College Programs.
Girls that Rock Girls that Rock, held in cooperation with the WCU Women’s Center, supports girls in grades 8 and above who plan to pursue careers in the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields.
Alliance Day Students and parents travel to the NC-OPT-ED program to engage in a conference which includes oral presentations, poster presen-tations, STEM based workshops, and recruiters for undergraduate and graduate schools.
PIe clubParents can assure their child’s success in the NC-MSEN Pre College Program by joining the Parents Involved in Excellence (PIE) Club. As a member of PIE, parents attend workshops and meetings to discuss topics such as school academic requirements and standardized testing. The PIE Club also supports student activities by assisting the staff with planning and volunteering for events.
ProGram success rates97% of Pre-College students attend a four-year university after completing high school
82% of Pre-College graduates pursue a major in science, technology, engineering or mathematics
88% of Pre-College students graduate high school with a GPA of 3.0 or higher
97% of Pre-College students have enrolled in one or more advanced or honors mathematics and science courses by 12th grade
99% of Pre-College students pass Algebra I by the end of their 9th grade year
nc-msenPre-colleGe ProGramThe NC-MSEN Pre-College Program is designed to broaden the pool of students who graduate from high school with sufficient preparation to pursue mathematics and science programs of study at the university level and to move into careers in science, mathematics, technology, engineering, and teaching. To achieve these goals, the program offers rigorous science-and mathematics-based academic enrichment classes and activities to traditionally underserved students in grades 6-12. These activities are integrated into the core curriculum and include career awareness programs, leadership training, academic advising and tutoring, academic competitions, and hands-on laboratory experiences in mathematics, science, and technology.
Western Carolina University's Center for Mathematics and Science Education is a constituent member of the North Carolina Mathematics and Science Education Network (NC-MSEN).
