Scholar Enrichment Program (SEP)

SEP, a support program for undergraduates, focuses on improving the academic experience and performance of students. While most students participating in SEP are STEM majors, the program offers assistance to all UH students enrolled in STEM courses regardless of major. SEP creates a learning community for students enrolled in classes that have a high rate of student failure, offering peer-to-peer workshops designed to enhance learning and problem-solving skills. UH is a participant in the Houston-Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (H-LSAMP), and SEP serves as the H-LSAMP comprehensive collaborative learning community on campus.

teachHOUSTON

A partnership between NSM and the College of Education, teachHOUSTON is changing the way future secondary math and science teachers are trained. Students participate in classroom teaching throughout their four years at UH with rotations at local elementary, middle and high schools. They learn valuable teaching skills from mentor teachers at public schools and master teachers at UH. Ninety percent of the graduates continue as public school teachers beyond two years.
