Pathway to STEM Designation

online credits from colleges will not be listed on the Saint Viator transcript, do not count in your Saint Viator GPA, and will need to be sent to colleges separately.

PATHWAY TO STEM DESIGNATION

The STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) designated curriculum is designed for those students who are considering a college major in one of these fields. The students will supplement their college preparatory coursework with an emphasis on STEMdesignated classes and experiences. A student may opt into the program in freshman or sophomore year. Upon successful completion, they will receive a designation on their transcript and recognition with a cord at graduation.

Requirements for STEM Designation

• Minimum of 2 STEM courses per year (Math, Science, and approved

Computer Technology classes) with a minimum grade in each STEM class of 85% in regular and 80% in honors classes (unweighted) • Maintain a cumulative weighted GPA of 85% or above • One full year of an approved computer technology class • Successful completion of at least one Advanced Placement math or science class • Completion of four approved STEM experiences • Digital portfolio of experiences
