LSAMP Bridge to the Doctorate Cohort 11

为了满足美国在科学技术、工程和数学（STEM）学科方面保持全球竞争力的国家需求，需要注入尚未开发的有才华、有创造力和聪明的学生，这些学生在STEM领域的代表性一直不足，他们获得了博士学位。是必要的。杰克逊州立大学（JSU）是一所历史悠久的黑人大学（HBCU），在培养主要是非裔美国人的化学、数学、生物学、环境科学、计算机科学和工程博士学位方面有着良好的记录。迄今为止，JSU的BD项目已经从代表性不足的群体中培养了20名博士毕业生，其中94人被博士项目录取。通过他们的项目，JSU已经并将为美国大学和学院提供高素质和多样化的教职员工，并影响持有博士学位的科学家，数学家和工程师的数量并进入劳动力市场。杰克逊州立大学将执行一个基于具有挑战性和丰富的研究和学术经验，专业长期目标和目标的制定和实施，在目标博士项目机构利用STEM暑期研究实习和国际研究经验的BD项目。他们的BD项目的目标分为四类：研究和学术，丰富活动，国家和国际伙伴关系，以及评估和学生跟踪。这些活动加上LSAMP项目提供的充足资金支持、严格的课程和承诺的指导，将使他们的BD项目继续加速发展，并提高STEM领域历史上代表性不足的学生进入博士学位的质量和数量。

In order to address the national need for the U.S. to remain globally competitive in Science Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines, an infusion of an untapped pool of talented, creative, and intelligent students historically underrepresented in STEM who earn Ph.Ds. is needed. Jackson State University (JSU), a Historically Black University (HBCU), has a strong track record for preparing primarily African American graduate students in chemistry, mathematics, biology, environmental science, computer science, and engineering for STEM doctoral degrees. JSU's BD program to date has produced 20 Ph.D. graduates from underrepresented groups and 94 who were admitted into doctoral programs. Through their program, JSU has and will provide well-qualified and diverse faculty members for U.S. universities and colleges, as well as impact the number of scientists, mathematicians, and engineers holding the doctorate and entering the workforce. Jackson State University will execute a BD program that is based upon challenging and rich research and academic experiences, the development and implementation of professional long term goals and objectives, the utilization of STEM summer research internships at targeted Ph.D. program institutions, and international research experiences. The objectives of their BD program fall into four categories: Research and Academics, Enrichment Activities, National and International Partnerships, and Evaluation and Student Tracking. These activities along with sufficient financial support from the LSAMP program, rigorous curricula, and committed mentoring will allow their BD program to continue to accelerate and increase the quality and number of students historically underrepresented in STEM entering the Ph.D. pipeline.
