CSTEP Statement

The Collegiate Science and Technology Entry Program (CSTEP) is sponsored by Syracuse University and the New York State Department of Education. It is an enrichment program designed to foster students' academic success in preparing for professional licensure or careers in the scientific, technical, professional, or health-related fields.

CSTEP is designed for students looking for a holistic approach to their Syracuse University experience. The program provides opportunities for scholars to obtain internships and/or research projects, create and maintain portfolios and resumes, research graduate school information, receive one-on-one academic consultation and attend educational conferences.

Upon becoming a CSTEP scholar, individuals must meet the minimum requirements stipulated by the New York State Department of Education and/or Syracuse University. In addition, students must maintain a minimum 2.75 GPA; complete appropriate paperwork; meet with a consultant a minimum of one (1) time per month; attend all general meetings; attend three (3) workshops, events, or activities per semester; and participate in program advocacy activities. Students must also participate in at least one (1) internship/research experience before graduation. Failure to meet the minimum requirements may result in dismissal from the program. If you can no longer commit to the program for any reason, you must contact the CSTEP office.

By electronic signature below, I agree to commit myself to the goals and ideals of the CSTEP program by complying with the minimum requirements as stated above.
