GST BOCES is expanding their New Visions Engineering program to both the Coopers and Bush Campuses for Fall of 2026! This will be modeled after the successful New Visions Engineering program that was implemented this year at our Wildwood Campus. Please see the included information regarding the Wildwood New Visions Engineering program for your reference. Although the future program may vary a bit from this information, the goal is it to be as similar as possible.
Students can apply through the same application portal as they would for all New Visions programs. BOCES will make a final decision on location(s) as they receive student applications.
