This program continues a successfully completed CSEMS program that more than met its goal of 95% college-wide retention and on-time graduation rates. It achieved its goal of significantly increasing the retention rate and opportunity for our talented, but economically disadvantaged, students, to complete their undergraduate degrees in a timely manner. The minimum academic qualifications for acceptance and continuation in the program are a B average both in the major and overall. The previous program successfully supported 40 students, chosen each year out of a pool of more than 60 qualified applicants. The current program recruits more minority students, provides each scholar with application-oriented experiences in their field, assists each scholar with employment or graduate school admission upon graduation, and retains 95% of the scholars to graduation at end of two years.Intellectual merit: The program has a strong advisory component in the selection of appropriate and challenging course work for each student, supplemented with several out-of-class discipline-related activities. It provides an extensive lecture and seminar exposure for students in mathematics and computer science, as well as several research projects.Broader impact: The previous program had an equal number of female and male students and a 6% minority representation, somewhat matching the campus population. The college is committed to increase minority participation in the program to 10%.

该计划延续了成功完成的CSEMS计划，超过了95%的大学范围内的保留和按时毕业率的目标。它实现了显著提高留存率的目标，并为我们有才华，但经济上处于不利地位的学生提供了及时完成本科学位的机会。接受和继续在该计划的最低学历是一个B平均无论是在主要和整体。以前的计划成功地支持了40名学生，每年从60多名合格的申请人中选出。目前的计划招收更多的少数民族学生，为每位学者提供各自领域的应用型经验，帮助每位学者毕业后就业或进入研究生院，并保留95%的学者在两年结束时毕业。该计划在为每个学生选择适当和具有挑战性的课程工作方面具有很强的咨询功能，并辅以一些与学科相关的课外活动。它为数学和计算机科学的学生提供了广泛的讲座和研讨会，以及几个研究项目。更广泛的影响：以前的计划有同等数量的男女学生和6%的少数民族代表，在一定程度上匹配校园人口。学院致力于将少数民族参与该计划的比例提高到10%。
