NCCU STEM Learning Center
Our Mission
The mission of the NCCU STEM Learning Center is to strengthen academic support and services in educating and training undergraduate students in science (including the health sciences), technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) at the institution. The purpose of the NCCU STEM Learning Center is to create and sustain a holistic learning environment that extends beyond the STEM classrooms and curricula and one that responds and adapts dynamically to the fast-changing science, engineering, and technological workforce needs.
Our Goals
Increase Graduation in STEM
Increase retention and graduation in STEM degree programs.
Professional Development
Assist in the professional development and preparation of STEM graduates for health, physical, and mathematical careers.
What We Do
The NCCU STEM Learning Center offers assistance with STEM courses. We do so through individual tutoring (no appointment needed!) or through our course workshops. Our academic counselors are experts in various STEM fields and are continuously learning new methods to help students learn. We also provide information on resources such as scholarships, internships, and opportunities for research education for undergraduates (REU).
