 GPC USG STEM Initiative


The USG STEM Initiative, MATH + SCIENCE = SUCCESS, includes three sets of interconnected strategies designed to:
  • • Promote K-12 student preparation for and interest in majoring in STEM in college.
  • • Increase the success of STEM majors in college.
  • • Produce more and better science and mathematics teachers for the schools, which in turn will lead to increased preparation of K-12 students in science and mathematics.
Message from the Chancellor:

"Georgia must respond to the increasing state and national crises in the education of mathematicians, scientists, technicians and engineers, and to the preparation of science and mathematics teachers. Addressing the need to increase the number of baccalaureate degrees in these fields is one of the highest priorities of the University System of Georgia. Accordingly, I have committed to the provision of funding to support the successful implementation of our MATH + SCIENCE = SUCCESS Initiative over the next several years."
