Program Characteristics
Magnets (as the students are often referred to) are expected to complete many advanced level courses that mimic the structure of collegiate classes. These courses include, but are not limited to:
- Biology I, II, III
- Chemistry I, II, III
- Calculus I, II
- Linear Algebra/Discrete Math
- Earth and Space Science
- Engineering Problems
- Computer Science I, II, III
- Junior Mentoring
- Junior Research
- Statistics
- Physics I, II, III
- Senior Seminar
Many of the above courses are highly advanced courses not usually seen in high school curriculum. MSTC Calculus I covers AP Calculus BC. The Calculus II course covers Multivariable Calculus, Differential Equations, and Number Theory. Chemistry III includes Analytical Chemistry Lab and Organic Chemistry. In addition, linear algebra and discrete math are offered. Along with their school classes each student is expected to complete a 360-hour research project with the mentorship of an adult in the science community. These projects are often completed in conjunction with professors from the University of Kentucky and at the end of their senior year the graduating class presents their research at a formal symposium.

Famous quotes containing the word program:
“Beluthahatchee is a country where all unpleasant doings and sayings are forgotten, a land of forgiveness and forgetfulness. When a woman accusingly reminds her man of something in the past, he replies, ‘I thought that was in Beluthahatchee.’ Or a person may say to another, to dismiss some matter, “Oh, that’s in Beluthahatchee.’”
—For the State of Florida, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
