Rutgers: RU-STEP Programs (Welcome)

Welcome

RU-STEPed Up for Success is a cohesive set of programmatic interventions that address strategic points in the undergraduate educational process. It seeks to increase the number of students receiving baccalaureate degrees from Rutgers University – New Brunswick in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Specifically, RU-STEPed Up for Success will recruit STEM majors from underrepresented groups (women and minorities) and improve retention of first-year and transfer STEM students through summer bridge experiences, academic support, mentoring, and orientation programs. These new programs build on existing programs that address critical issues in student recruitment and retention.
