In 1986, the New York State Legislature created the Collegiate Science and Technology Entry Program (CSTEP) to increase “access by minority or disadvantaged students to academic programs that...prepare students for licensure or employment” in scientific, technical or health-related professions. Since that time, CSTEP at NYU has provided a means for traditionally underserved, low-income students to obtain admission for STEM careers and Licensed Professions as well as academic and financial support during their course of study at the University.
As an accepted NYU and CSTEP student, you will begin by completing a required six-week introductory non-credit academic program during the summer prior to your freshman year. Your summer course schedule is determined by your individual academic needs, and will expose you to first-year courses and activities, ensuring a smooth entry into university life.

The Collegiate Science and Technology Entry Program (CSTEP) were established at Farmingdale State College during the academic year 1999-2000. It is one of only 49 programs in New York State. The primary objectives of CSTEP are to develop and retain students enrolled in the undergraduate programs in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) and to prepare them for careers in the licensed professions, and to pursue higher studies and research in STEM fields. CSTEP accomplishes its objectives by offering instructional programs, enabling participation in scholarly activities, conducting conferences and workshops, providing support for guided research and industry sponsored internship programs, and conducting programs aimed at developing skills and competencies for ethical and professional practice in the students chosen field. While CSTEP brings together faculty and students from a broad spectrum of academic programs on campus to undertake projects of mutual interest, it promotes and enables collaborative activities with the science and technology programs at other institutions in the region. CSTEP also serves as an excellent tool to promote science, technology, engineering and mathematics education at the middle and high schools by enabling its members to serve as mentors for STEP students.
In order to become a member of STEP, a student must meet the following eligibility criteria:
