What We Do

DAPCEP’s mission is to increase the number of historically underrepresented students who are motivated and academically prepared to pursue degrees leading to STEM careers. We achieve this with supplemental academic programs for Pre-K to 12th grade students by partnering with schools and universities to develop and facilitate engaging curriculum. We are driven to increase the number of students who graduate from high school and pursue degrees and/or careers in STEM fields and serve 13,000 students annually.

Interesting Info
  • Over 44 years, DAPCEP has served more than 150,000 students throughout Southeastern Michigan.
  • Black students earned no more than 9% of the STEM degrees awarded in 2018 across bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral levels, figures that have seen little change.
  • All students from racial, ethnic, and socioeconomically challenged backgrounds receive the instruction and support needed to succeed in STEM pathways.
