High School AMSE Requirements

The AMSE Institute offers a three-tiered program model: Membership, Honors, and Honors Fellow, plus an option to combine AMSE and Conservatory participation with the AMSE Artist Honors program. These distinct pathways recognize the top high achieving students in their respective fields while broadening the scope of student involvement. Students must complete these requirements upon graduation.

AMSE TIERS

AMSE Institute students are encouraged to get involved in specially designed programs which allow students to advance their unique abilities, stand out to colleges, and prepare them to pursue education and career paths in the STEM field.
