The University of North Carolina at Charlotte's North Carolina Mathematics
and Science Education Network (NC-MSEN) Pre-College Program housed
in the Center for Mathematics, Science and Technology Education appreciates your interest in the program. The goal of the
NC-MSEN Pre-College Program is to broaden the pool of students pursuing mathematics- and science based majors and careers. The
UNC Charlotte NC-MSEN Pre-College Program actively recruits and prepares students of average to above average ability in grades
6-12 from six school systems in the UNC Charlotte area.
The UNC Charlotte
NC-MSEN Pre-College Program continues to provide rewarding activities in mathematics and science to its students from five area counties. Parental and student commitment to excellence accounts for the numerous successes the program has experienced through the years. The parents, students, administrative staff, and teachers continually strive to provide opportunities to enhance abilities and develop skills that will enable the students to recognize and achieve their potential. The
NC-MSEN Pre-College Program is composed of 3 major components: Summer Scholars; Saturday Academy and Parents Involved for Excellence, or PIE Club. The Summer Scholars Program offers students interactive experiences that refine the skills, knowledge,
and attributes related to mathematical and scientific careers. The students are engaged in instructional contact in math, science, communications, and an elective for 3 weeks during the month of June
and/or July. They also participate in a College Day, Career Day, and a number of educational field trips.
The Saturday Academy Program consists of twelve days during the academic year. During each of the Saturday Academy sessions the students engage in various hands-on activities in math, science, communications, and career awareness. Students also participate on field trips and in a host of educational opportunities off and on the campus of UNC Charlotte. Parental commitment is a vital component to the success of students involved in the
UNC Charlotte NC-MSEN Pre- College Program. The PIE Club meets periodically at UNC Charlotte during Saturday Academy Activities. Attendance at these meetings affords parents opportunities to stay abreast of upcoming Program events and participate in student activities. The PIE Club plays a vital role in raising funds to support graduating Pre-College Program
students.
