STEM Experiential Learning

Our goal is to prepare students so that when they graduate, they are confident, competitive job applicants. In STEM fields, this type of learning is necessity. It’s the very definition of experiments and research.

Here, you won’t just follow along to a pre-determined outcome. You pursue knowledge and the discover answers. This unique real-world learning opportunities and hands-on experiences make you ready for your next step whether that’s grad school, medical school, or your career.

“I’m studying Medical Laboratory Science, and SEMO did a great job preparing me for my clinical rotations, which I am currently undertaking at Mercy St. Louis. As a student I have already had many job offers, and I do feel like SEMO was one my keys to a successful future.”
