With recent Nanotechnology investments in the Utica area, we believe that UASCS has a major role to play in building an educational pipeline in STEM. By creating a rigorous STEM program with curricular and extra curricular opportunities, our goal is to collaborate with area colleges, STEM related business and local community to encourage our students to explore, involve and pursue a career in such fields. Such mission supports our local colleges and businesses meet their need on highly qualified college student body and work force in the STEM fields.
