The Collegiate Science & Technology Entry Program is a vital support service for Buffalo State students. The program offers two primary benefits for participants:
- CSTEP facilitates access to careers in science and technology for economically disadvantaged students or members of groups traditionally underrepresented in higher education;
- CSTEP assists students pursuing degrees in health-related fields (such as pre-med), engineering technology, pre-law, and computer information systems.
CSTEP operates in accordance with the New York State Education guidelines. Our constant goal is to promote confidence and self-esteem in our students while helping them adjust to college life and make the most of their academic experience.
