Collaborative Education

The Collaborative Educational Programs Department at Bronx Community College is the umbrella office for BCC educational initiatives focused on developing partnership and collaboration with grades K -12 public schools, community-based agencies, and local art programs. Collaborative Educational Programs are an active and visible component of the College’s effort to build community strengths and attract potential students to the campus.  Our collaborative programs are a part of the larger BCC mission “to be responsive to community needs” as well as provide families and children with access to the wealth of educational and social resources available at the College.

Science and Technology Entry Program (STEP)

Helping Students Turn Potential into Possibility

The STEP Program supports students in grades 7–12 as they explore their future and prepare for college through engaging learning experiences in STEM, health-related subjects, and other areas of academic interest.

Based at Bronx Community College, STEP creates a space where students are challenged, supported, and inspired to grow. The program also works in collaboration with partner schools to engage and educate students.

Students participate in:

· Engaging classes in math, science, and technology.

· Hands-on research and real-world learning experiences.

· Workshops and guest speakers that introduce exciting career paths.

· Tutoring and study groups for personalized academic support.

· College prep and counseling, including SAT and financial aid guidance.

· Field trips and cultural experiences that bring learning to life.

At its core, STEP is about building confidence, opening doors, and helping students see what’s possible for their future by incorporating college and career readiness training.
