Welcome!
Upward Bound Math and Science Centers are federally-funded TRIO programs,
administered by the U.S. Department of Education and located at educational and
non-profit organizations throughout the nation, designed to help low-income and
first-generation students overcome the barriers that block them from accessing
and succeeding in post-secondary educational programs.
The Regional Center for Math and Science (RCMS) is located at the University of
Wisconsin - Green Bay. The RCMS is a part of the TRIO and Precollege Programs
Department
(TRIO & Precollege).
Program Description
The RCMS is a federally funded, six week residential pre-college program,

the health sciences. Careers in medicine, nursing, physical therapy, medical
research, and the like, will be explored.
