Texas A&M University System Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (TAMUS LSAMP) Bridge to the Doctorate (BTD) Cohort VII (2011-2013) Program - BD Site: TAMU

德克萨斯州A M大学系统（TAMUS）路易斯斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟（LSAMP）将在2011-2013学年期间赞助德克萨斯州A M大学的博士学位课程（BD）。该计划涉及与农业和生命科学学院（COALS），科学学院（COS）和工程学院（COE）在该机构的合作，以及参与合作机构的研究项目，如TAMU-Kingsville。TAMUS LSAMP BD计划旨在增加科学，技术，工程或数学STEM博士学位的代表性不足的少数民族（URM）在STEM领域，并创建一个跨不同学科的研究生在大学内的凝聚力社区。该计划通过提供研究生水平的机会和活动来造福社会，从而提高研究生的教育和职业水平。TAMUS LSAMP BTD计划还将通过推进联盟机构的STEM研究生和博士学位的追求来加强研究和教育的基础设施。自2003年以来，该联盟已经在该机构和Prairie View AM University为七批来自历史上代表性不足的追求STEM博士学位的学生进行了NSF LSAMP桥梁博士学位后课程。 11名学生完成了STEM博士课程，16名学生完成了STEM M。S.度 其余的学生仍在坚持学士后水平或已进入STEM博士学位。程序.

The Texas A&M University System (TAMUS) Louis Stokes Alliance for MinorityParticipation (LSAMP) will sponsor a Bridge to the Doctorate Program (BD) at TexasA&M University during the 2011-2013 academic years. The program involvescollaboration with the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (COALS), the College ofScience (COS), and the College of Engineering (COE) at the institution as well asparticipation in research projects at partner institutions such as TAMU-Kingsville.The TAMUS LSAMP BD Program aims to increase the pool of science, technology,engineering or mathematics STEM PhDs among underrepresented minorities (URM) inSTEM fields and to create a cohesive community of graduate students across differentdisciplines within the university. The program benefits society by providing opportunities and activities at graduate levels that lead to educational and career enhancements of graduate students. TheTAMUS LSAMP BTD program will also enhance the infrastructure of research andeducation by advancing pursuit of graduate and doctoral STEM degrees at allianceinstitutions.Since 2003, the alliance has conducted the NSF LSAMP Bridge to the Doctorate postbaccalaureate program at this institution and Prairie View A&M University for seven cohorts of students from historically underrepresented groups pursuing STEM doctoral degrees. Eleven (11) students have completed STEM doctoral programs and 16 students have completed STEM M. S. degrees. The remaining students are still persisting at the postbaccalaureate level or have entered STEM Ph.D. programs.
