The mission of CSTEP (Collegiate Science & Technology Entry Program) and C-STEM (Careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) are to support historically underrepresented and economically disadvantaged groups who are pursuing professional licensure and careers in mathematics, science, engineering, technology, and health-related STEM fields. CSTEP and CSTEM provide professional development opportunities and many types of support services to participants, allowing for greater academic success at Ithaca College. CSTEP activities are supported, in whole or in part, by a grant from the New York State Education Department.
