Flexible by Design
Flexible model designed for institutions
The MAPA STEM model features a modular design. Institutions can implement a single tier, combine multiple tiers, or adopt the entire Explore → Plan → Grow ecosystem based on their priorities, populations, and resources.
Each level can operate independently or integrate with existing initiatives focused on student success, career readiness, mentoring, and faculty development, allowing institutions to start where the need is greatest and expand over time.
