Integration of Science, Technology and Engineering (InSciTE), Undergraduate Certificate
College of Science and Engineering
Admission Requirements, Retention & Termination Standards
Admission to InSciTE program is based on an application and interview process that happens every Fall semester. Workshops will be held by CSE to help students navigate the application and provide mentoring. To apply for admission to the program, students must do the following:
- Be admitted to Central Michigan University as a degree-seeking student intending to major in a College of Science and Engineering program.
- Fill out the application, which contains a couple of short (<500 words) essays asking students about their career goals, past experiences in STEM, and their approach to teamwork. The application will be available at the CSE website.
- Be interviewed by InSciTE Council faculty, who will evaluate whether the student is a good match for InSciTE based on a number of criteria.
Admission will follow a transparent policy where criteria for acceptance into the program will rely on opportunities for growth and achievements rather than strong GPAs or test scores.
Once admitted to the program students must achieve a grade of C (2.0) or better in each certificate course to continue in the program and earn the certificate.
