STEM Bridge Program
Understanding the STEM Bridge* Program
The STEM Bridge Program helps students build a strong foundation in college-level science and math courses, which are essential for success in their chosen major. Both the Summer and Fall programs lead to full-time Spring enrollment and keep students on track to graduate in four years.
Students in the STEM Bridge Program are 100% Florida Atlantic students and can participate in almost all student activities and events. Please note that some fraternity and sorority organizations may require full-time enrollment for membership.
Financial aid offers are based on full-time enrollment and may be adjusted if you are enrolled part-time. To understand how your enrollment affects your aid, please reach out to your financial aid counselor or use the Financial Aid Disbursement Estimator.
Students are offered admission to Summer or Fall based on their overall academic profile. The entering term is not negotiable.
