The STEM-CURE Program is an interdisciplinary, multi-institution program including all of the ten MCCCD community colleges. The program’s goal is to use CUREs to increase recruitment and retention of community college students into STEM fields, to promote interest in STEM disciplines, and to expose students to career opportunities and career pathways by including cross-sector partnerships with industry and a variety of organizations in the design and implementation of CUREs.
