What is Upward Bound Math and Science
The Upward Bound Math and Science program is designed to strengthen the math and science skills of participating students. The goal of the program is to help students recognize and develop their potential to excel in math and science and to encourage them to pursue postsecondary degrees in math and science, and ultimately careers in the math and science profession.
The Upward Bound Math and Science program at Central Carolina Community College serves 60 students from Harnett County High Schools in grades 9 through 12.
