Welcome! MAX will help jumpstart your student's college career. This program is designed for students who want to practice with STEM knowledge and skills that they will use throughout their majors. Your student will also join a community of other incoming STEM majors, STEM faculty, and advanced undergraduate mentors.
MAX students will:
Strengthen concepts they will use throughout their UCSB career: Telling stories with data; units and conversion; systems of equations; linear and exponential functions; and probability
Hone their STEM navigation skills: Adapting learning for different courses; using help that is there for them; taking the sting out of struggle; managing time on the quarter system; communicating with professors and TAs.
We know that starting a rigorous STEM major in a fast-paced research university can be challenging for students! The MAX Program is here to help.
