Saturday Enrichment Program
aa Heading link
The University of Illinois at Chicago Early Outreach Program is a pre-college academic pipeline initiative that offers a Saturday Enrichment Program and summer learning experiences that inspire independence, curiosity, confidence, leadership and collaboration. We consider our students’ diversity to be an asset. We understand and capitalize on our students’ cultures, abilities, resilience, and effort. The Early Outreach Program was created more than three decades ago to retain, educate, and graduate ethnically underrepresented student populations to achieve success in health care professions. Our mission to design a rigorous yet accessible program has spawned a set of values that drives everything we do:
- Learning – we empower students to learn more than they thought was possible
- Empathy – we care about students more than we care about test scores
- Feedback – we listen, iterate and improve each session
- Impact – we celebrate student learning that improves our communities
Health Sciences Enrichment Program (HSEP) for 9th – 12th grades are designed to develop skills in writing, media literacy, and research.
A goal of the Saturday Enrichment Program is to increase the percentage of under-represented minority students who are college and career ready. All students who apply for admission are required to take the Academic Placement Exam in September.
