What is STEP?
The Science Talent Expansion Program (STEP) is for any student interested in majoring in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics at Central Washington University.
STEP builds a foundation in scientific research and writing to launch students on second-year research, teaching, or engineering experience:
- Gain valuable scientific skills
- Participate in faculty-mentored research and teaching experiences
- Build a foundation for your STEM major with ongoing academic and social support
- Take specially designed courses for the STEP cohort
- Contribute to a like-minded community
- Live in the STEP Living Learning Community (optional)
