Summer Science Training Program

About the Summer Science Training Program

geologyThe Millersville University College of Science and Technology is pleased to once again sponsor the Annual Summer Science Training Program (SSTP). Two distinct five-day sessions of science and math workshops will be taught for different age groups consecutively, with each session consisting of 10 stimulating topics under the STEM umbrella.  SSTP provides students with learning opportunities typically not available at the pre-college level through a wide range of academic disciplines and a focus on intensive student-teacher interaction, advanced-level learning, research and problem-solving experiences. The University encourages all students interested in STEM fields to include this engaging and enriching program in their summer schedule.
