CALES ASEMS Application Process for Incoming Students for Fall 2024
The first step in joining CALES ASEMS for the Fall 2024 semester is to join a STEM Learning Community.
What is a STEM Learning Community?
CREAR STEM Learning Communities (SLCs) are structured according to the student experience such as first-year student or community college transfer student, and are the foundation for your first semester in the ASEMS Program.
