Where we foster excellence in education that challenges students of every background to develop their intellect, character, and abilities; to assist students in achieving their educational and career goals; and to be responsive to the greater community.
The IVC Upward Bound Math & Science program has been supporting local students since 2016. Students in the Upward Bound Math & Science (UBMS) will participate in fun and engaging activities that will explore STEMM, computers, science, biology, chemistry, engineering, and math. The activities will provide an opportunity for students to also meet local and out of county professionals from the STEMM career industry. The afterschool activities and Saturday events will help improve the student's skills in the area of Math and Science. Students will get to meet with professors and STEMM professionals who will provide the guidance necessary to reach their goals of obtaining a degree in math or science. Students in the UBMS program explore careers in Engineering, Computer Science, Anthropology, Paleontology, Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, Microbiology, Cosmology & Much More!
The IVC Upward Bound Math and Science (UBMS) serves high school students from low-income families and high school students from families in which neither parent holds a bachelors degree. All program activities and services are free of charge to qualifying students. Currently we only have the UBMS program in Calexico, Central, Southwest and Brawley high school. Students must be currently in the 9 th and 10 th grade to apply to the UBMS program. Students must also demonstrate a strong interest in careers in Math or Science.
