The CSUSC is a 26-week program that will enrich student academic experiences and expose them to public health science research**. All 6th-12th students will meet on designated Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. at Chicago State University. Their activities are expected to increase their interest in science, mathematics and public health research** and motivate them to take Honors level and Advanced Placement science courses.
**During spring module, ACT prep for 11th grade and public health science summer research for 12th grade only
In addition to student involvement, an essential component of this program is parental involvement. Parent or guardians will attend one class with their child during each module, October - December and January - May. A Saturday College Parent Association (SCPA) will be formed. Parents will organize supplemental events such as museum tours, special workshops and motivational presentations.
