Kishwaukee College’s Engineering, Math & Science Academy (EMSA) will hold an information session for the 2022-2023 academic year from 6-7 pm Wednesday, Nov. 17, both online via Zoom and in-person in Room C1121. The information session is open to current high school sophomores and juniors and their parents/guardians.
EMSA offers high school students the opportunity to take college-level courses in STEM-related fields — including physics, mathematics, chemistry and biology — to prepare for careers in engineering, scientific research, medicine, pharmacy or veterinary science. Depending on their chosen track, students must have completed pre-calculus and chemistry with a “B” grade or better to be considered eligible for the program.
Students can earn up to 23 transferable credit hours through EMSA. Past Kish EMSA students have transferred to some of the top schools in the country, including the University of Illinois, Purdue University, Georgia Tech and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.
The information session will overview the program, explain the application process and answer questions for students and parents/guardians. Application materials must be received by the College no later than Jan. 31, 2022, for consideration for the 2022-2023 academic year.
Guests attending in person are encouraged to park in Lot A and enter through Door 6.
