Program Information
A Historical Perspective
The University of Tennessee, Math and Science Center is a pre-college program that is funded by the U.S. Department of Education for high school students in the 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th grades. Upward Bound programs have been in existence over 35 years across the country and been at the University of Tennessee since 1991. Upward Bound programs were specifically created to help potential first-generation college students and students from families who meet income guidlines established by the federal government graduate from high school, attend college, and reach their full potential while in college. The program provides tutoring, ACT preparation, college and career information, instruction in academics, cultural enrichment and social counseling on a one-to-one basis with students in the program. It also gives students a chance to experience what college might be like following the 10th and 11th grade through a six week academic program on The University of Tennessee's campus during the summer.
