Greater Philadelphia Region LSAMP Bridge to the Doctorate (Cohort VII) Project

2009-2011桥梁大费城地区的博士学位课程路易斯斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟（费城AMP）将扩大和加强该联盟的持续努力，以大幅增加合格的非洲裔美国人，西班牙裔和美洲原住民学生进入科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）研究生学习，获得博士学位，并进入教授职位费城AMP代表了由九所机构组成的多元化联盟，其中包括公立和私立机构、两年制和四年制研究机构和非研究机构、历史黑人学院和大学（HBCU）以及多数机构。 特拉华州州立大学是2009-2011年桥梁博士学位课程的网站。Philadelphia AMP's Bridge to the Doctorate project的目标是：（1）招收12名学生进入特拉华州州立大学的硕士学位课程;（2）通过完成硕士课程留住这些学生，为他们提供进入一个高度重视的博士学位的完整资格。计划在他们选择的STEM专业与充分的财政支持;（3）使他们的录取和顺利过渡到博士学位。计划;和（4）通过博士监督他们的进展。完成就业。我们的目标是让这些学生100%成功完成研究生学习并进入STEM职业生涯，其中许多人将进入高等教育机构的教授职位。学生将能够进入10个STEM MS。少数民族在许多专业（化学、应用化学、应用数学、数学、物理、应用光学、自然资源、生物学、神经科学和植物科学）中的代表性不足。

The 2009-2011 Bridge to the Doctorate Program of the Greater Philadelphia Region Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (Philadelphia AMP)will expand and intensify the alliance's on-going efforts to substantially increase the number of qualified African American, Hispanic and Native American students entering graduate study in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), attaining doctoral degrees, and moving into the professoriate. The Philadelphia AMP represents a diverse alliance of nine institutions consisting of public and private, 2- and 4-year research and non-research, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and majority institutions. Delaware State University is the site for the 2009-2011 Bridge to the Doctorate program. The goals of Philadelphia AMP's Bridge to the Doctorate project are to: (1) recruit twelve students into masters degree programs at Delaware State University; (2) retain these students through the completion of the Masters program providing them with full qualifications for admission into a highly regarded Ph.D. program in their chosen STEM specialty with full financial support; (3) enable their admission and smooth transition into a Ph.D. program; and (4) monitor their progress through Ph.D. completion into employment. We aim to have 100% of these students successfully complete their graduate study and enter a STEM career, with many progressing into the professoriate at institutions of higher education. The students will be able to matriculate into 10 STEM M.S. programs (chemistry, applied chemistry, applied mathematics, mathematics, physics, applied optics, natural resources, biology, neuroscience, and plant science), many of which are underrepresented by minorities.
