Bridges into Engineering and Computer Science

Thanks in part to support from the National Science Foundation (NSF), Wright College also offers a path for minority and underrepresented students looking to enter Engineering and Computer Science programs. The Bridges into Engineering & Computer Science program focuses on key transitions along students’ educational journeys from high school through community college and ultimately to a four-year institution. This program prepares students for the rigors of a degree in engineering and/or computer science.

Participants of the first Summer Bridge eliminated up to two years of remedial math and are thriving in Calculus.
Limited to 40 seats
