START @ Angelo State: STEM Advancement and Readiness Training

About the Program

START @ Angelo State allows incoming freshmen to participate in mathematics classes and campus-enhancing experiences. This FREE program is intended for students who have an interest in majoring in a Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) field, although it is not a requirement.

The program offers several advantages, including:

• The opportunity to meet ASU faculty and fellow classmates
• In-depth information about all of ASU’s degree programs in the College of Science and Engineering to help you identify the program that best fits your interests
• The opportunity to improve your math placement so that you can get a jumpstart on your academic progress
• Jump-start your college journey by earning course credit for GS 1181 (required for all freshmen) and receiving a scholarship to cover the cost

Participants also get to move into their residence hall early at no charge.

Schedule

START @ Angelo State is a week and a half program that leads into ASU’s Rambunctious Week activities that kick off the fall semester every year. Throughout the program, you will participate in mathematics enrichment each morning and then transition to campus enrichment and fun activities in the afternoon and evening. Campus dining facilities will be open and students with meal plans will be able to use the services for meals throughout the day.

After the first week, you’ll complete an individually determined assessment to ensure that you are appropriately grouped for activities and programming during the second week of the program. At the conclusion of the program, you’ll complete one more assessment so that ASU can place you in an appropriate mathematics course for success in the fall semester.

After that, you will participate in more campus enrichment and engagement activities as part of Rambunctious Week.
