Academic-Year Program

During the eight-month Academic-Year Program, students attend MUST choose a study center cohort to get their four hours a week:

• Tuesday & Thursday Cohort: 4-6:30 p.m.                                                   
• Saturday Cohort (Wayne State Campus only): 
  9:00 a.m. -1:00 p.m.

Students are offered tutoring 2-3 days per week during the academic program. Subjects include science, math, English and foreign language. Tutorial and counseling sessions take place individually and in groups. If a student is unable to come in person for during the week or needs immediate help, students can connect with our insturctors via zoom.  

We offer other programming throughout the academic year to keep the program lively such as monthly college tours, sporting events, bowling nights, movie nights, student leadership conferences and our highly anticipated spring college tour. These experiences expose students to college life and provide useful information for college research and choices.

Upward Bound serves to improve a student's motivation for success, self-discipline, a sense of purpose, study habits, skills, and academic achievement.  The program's success is assessed by the number of student participants who will be first-generation college graduates in their families.
