The Utica
Center for Science and Industry
(UCSI) is perfect for students who want a career in technology
and want to see the "why" and relevance of their high
school course work. The UCSI students will have
access to work-based learning opportunities at all levels, including
job shadowing, mentoring and work-site internships.
Coursework begins with a two-year preparation for 9th and 10th graders, who attend UCSI for half of the school day. All 9th graders will take 20 weeks of both CSI Design Principals and CSI Technical Illustration. They also take 9th grade English, taught in the context of technical reading and writing, as well as geometry, with an emphasis on technical mathematics.
Tenth graders choose one of the three disiplines,
Multimedia Production , Mechatronics or Engineering
Technology, and will take an elective course specific to their chosen
discipline. Additionally, all 10th graders will take English 10 and the appropriate math placement in either Algebra 1 or Algebra 2.
To attend UCSI, students must apply as 9th
graders. The
program will begin with 9th graders and expand
a grade
each year. To view each discipline's course sequence
