Colorado Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation Bridge to the Doctorate - Cohort IVL at the Colorado School of Mines

科罗拉多州路易斯·斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟(CO-AMP)将赞助科罗拉多矿业学院2010-2013学年的博士学位项目(BD)。这12名学生来自科学、技术、工程和技术(STEM)中代表性较低的少数民族人口，这将增加获得STEM学科博士学位的有才华的学生的数量。完成学业后，这些博士毕业生将要么进入技术劳动力大军，要么选择在学术界工作，成为其他未被充分代表的少数民族学生在未来所有关键教育关头的榜样。CSM项目的目标是(1)在CSM或其他STEM PHD授予机构招收LSAMP学生，并进入STEM博士项目；(2)确保STEM领域的留住和对教授的兴趣；以及，3)将成功的招聘和保留做法制度化，以便在其他研究生院复制。该计划将建立在科罗拉多州立大学1-3个BD队列的经验和教训的基础上。该项目有助于建立所需干预措施的有效性的知识库，以引导拥有STEM学科本科学位的URM团体的合格学生成功完成其研究领域的博士课程。此外，该计划将导致加强成功的战略，为URM研究生的成功，适用于其他高等教育机构。最后，该计划将有助于实现增加STEM专业中拥有博士学位的STEM专业的URM学生数量的国家目标。

The Colorado Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (CO-AMP) will sponsor a Bridge to the Doctorate Program (BD) at the Colorado School of Mines for the 2010-2013 academic years. This cohort of 12 students from underrepresented minority populations in science, technology, engineering and technology (STEM) will increase the number of talented students who will obtain doctoral degrees in the STEM disciplines. Upon completion, these Ph.D. graduates will either enter the technical workforce or choose a career in academia becoming role models for other underrepresented minority students at all critical education junctures in the future. The goals of the program at CSM are to (1) recruit LSAMP students at the postbacclaureate level and entry into STEM Ph.D. programs at CSM or other STEM PH.D. granting institutions; (2)ensure retention in STEM fields and interest in the professoriate; and, 3) instituionalize successful recruitment and retentionn practices for replication at other graduate institutions. The program will build on the experiences and lessons learned from BD cohorts 1-3 matriculating at Colorado State University. The project contributes to the knowledge base concerning the effectiveness of interventions needed to lead qualified students from URM groups with undergraduate degrees in STEM disciplines to successful completion of a doctoral program in their field of study. In addition, the program will lead to the enhancement of successful strategies for URM graduate student success that are applicable to other institutions of higher learning. Finally, the program will contribute to the national goal of increasing the number of URM students in STEM disciplines with Ph.D. degrees in their area of expertise.
