GOALS & OBJECTIVES   

    
The Goal of the UNC-Chapel Hill AGEP is to increase the number of Underrepresented Minority (URM) students receiving Ph.D.’s in Science, Technology, Engineering, & Mathematics (STEM) and Social, Behavioral, & Economic Sciences (SBE) disciplines and to increase the number of these URM's entering the professorate.  To these ends, the objectives of the RES are:

1) Recruit & prepare undergraduates to

    pursue the Ph.D. degree
2) Assist students in the transition from B.A.

    and B.S. to Ph.D. programs
3) Retention of graduate students through

    completion of the Ph.D.
4) Prepare future faculty for success

AGEP will serve as a comprehensive vehicle for recruiting, mentoring, and graduating URM students in STEM and SBE programs through the use of components involving both undergraduate & graduate students.   

 

  UNC-Chapel Hill AGEP

  is a NSF sponsored program
