推进黑人教育是至关重要的。在科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)领域的研究生学位中，黑人学生的比例偏低。很多人关注留住本科生，但很少关注研究生学位准备，这是许多专业领域的一项要求。鉴于心理学这一最受欢迎的本科专业的流行，以及有色人种在研究生课程中的代表性不足，我们提出了一个由大学赞助的研究生桥牌项目Emerge的案例研究。我们强调项目的基本组成部分，包括大学的认同、经济考虑、项目领导力、导师指导、文化参与和学术准备。讨论了在Emerge项目中实施这些要素，以及它在提高申请竞争力和博士生录取方面的有效性。该计划可以作为一个模范桥梁计划的所有领域的学士学位后教育。
Advancing the education of Blacks is of paramount importance. Black students are underrepresented in graduate degrees in Science Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) fields. Much attention has been paid to undergraduate retention but very little to graduate degree preparation, a requirement in many professional fields. Given the popularity of the field of psychology, the most popular undergraduate major, and the underrepresentation of people of color in graduate programs, we present a case study of a university-sponsored graduate bridge program, EMERGE. We highlight essential program components including university buy-in, economic considerations, program leadership, mentorship, cultural engagement, and academic preparedness. The implementation of these elements in to the EMERGE program are discussed as well as its demonstrated effectiveness in increasing application competitiveness and doctoral admissions. The program can serve as a model bridge program for all fields of post-baccalaureate education.
