La Salle University's Math Plus One (M+1) program will recruit students into mathematics through a focus on career preparation, strong student support services, and scholarship funding that will make college more affordable. The M+1 program will recruit 16 students (two cohorts of 8) who will major in mathematics and one other related area, with an emphasis on the fields of computer science, economics, finance, and chemistry. M+1 graduates will have a competitive advantage when seeking post-graduate employment and will fill critical workforce needs in the Greater Philadelphia area.La Salle will provide four years of scholarship assistance to each M+1 student. Students will participate in undergraduate research, attend regional and national conferences, complete internships, and receive career mentoring from members of the Mathematics Advisory Board. The Mathematics Advisory Board will consist of local business and educational leaders that, in addition to mentoring scholars, will guide and help shape the M+1 program. The goals of the M+1 program are to increase the enrollment of math majors, ensure a diversified math student population, provide strong support services to S-STEM recipients, and ensure that S-STEM students graduate in a timely manner and obtain positions in their fields after graduation. Recruitment efforts will target students underrepresented in the field, particularly women and minorities.

拉萨尔大学的Math Plus One(M+1)项目将通过专注于职业准备、强有力的学生支持服务和奖学金资助来招收学生进入数学专业，这将使大学更容易负担得起。M+1计划将招收16名学生(2名8人)，他们将主修数学和其他相关领域，重点是计算机科学、经济、金融和化学领域。M+1毕业生在寻找研究生就业时将具有竞争优势，并将满足大费城地区的关键劳动力需求。La Salle将为每名M+1学生提供四年的奖学金援助。学生将参与本科研究，参加地区和国家会议，完成实习，并接受数学咨询委员会成员的职业指导。数学咨询委员会将由当地商业和教育领导人组成，他们除了指导学者外，还将指导和帮助制定M+1计划。M+1计划的目标是增加数学专业的招生人数，确保数学学生群体的多元化，为S-STEM的接受者提供强有力的支持服务，确保S-STEM的学生毕业后及时毕业并在各自的领域找到工作。招聘工作将针对外地任职人数不足的学生，特别是妇女和少数群体。
