项目摘要

The Microbiology and Cell Science (MCS) Department at the University of Florida (UF) will partner with Miami Dade College (MDC), a primarily two-year degree granting institution in Florida and the largest minority-serving institution in the country, through the Florida Pathways to Success project. This project will provide scholarships to 400 academically talented and low income students who are in the two-year to four-year transfer pathway in the life sciences. To address the challenges of rapidly rising costs of higher education, stagnating income levels, and a critical shortfall of a highly skilled and diverse STEM workforce, MCS and MDC designed an innovative hybrid online transfer program to increase the retention of students who, for financial, familial, or other reasons, cannot relocate to the UF campus to complete their four-year degree. Transfer students are a diverse student population with a higher proportion of underrepresented minorities (URM), first generation students, veterans, working parents, women, older students and low-income students than non-transfer student populations. Despite their intention to earn an undergraduate degree, very few two-year students are retained and complete the B.S. degree pathway. The Florida Pathways project will use a transfer model that brings the MCS curriculum to the students and should therefore increase access to B.S. degrees while decreasing cost of attendance. The intellectual merit will focus on research in biology education that contributes to the body of knowledge on the transfer pathway and distance education. Students in the online transfer track earn their two year A.A. degree from a community college and then transfer into UF as MCS majors. Over five years, this project will provide substantial scholarships to approximately 250 academically talented and low income students from MDC and 150 from other Florida community colleges. Students who are pre-transfer at MDC and/or post-transfer in the UF MCS program are eligible for support. In addition, Florida Pathways scholarship recipients will receive mentoring from faculty and will be eligible to participate in other evidence-based interventions such as peer-led tutoring and faculty-mentored summer research. MCS transfer students currently have graduation rates that are significantly lower than the rates of their non-transfer peers. This project aims to increase retention so that all MCS students, regardless of transfer status, graduate in a timely fashion, resulting in at least 60-90 B.S. degree graduates who otherwise would not have been retained in the STEM transfer pathway. The research will identify those academic and social factors that contribute to observed differences in retention and graduation rates. The analysis will be used to guide the design of future interventions for sustained success of our transfer population.

微生物学和细胞科学（MCS）部门在佛罗里达大学（UF）将与迈阿密戴德学院（MDC），主要是两年制学位授予机构在佛罗里达和最大的少数民族服务机构在该国的合作伙伴，通过佛罗里达成功之路项目。该项目将为400名学术天赋和低收入家庭的学生提供奖学金，这些学生将在生命科学领域进行为期两年至四年的转学。为了解决高等教育成本迅速上升，收入水平停滞不前，以及高技能和多样化的STEM劳动力严重短缺的挑战，MCS和MDC设计了一个创新的混合在线转移计划，以增加学生的保留，因为财务，家庭或其他原因，不能搬迁到UF校园完成四年制学位。转学生是一个多元化的学生群体，与非转学生群体相比，代表性不足的少数民族（URM），第一代学生，退伍军人，工作父母，妇女，年龄较大的学生和低收入学生的比例较高。尽管他们打算获得本科学位，很少有两年制学生被保留并完成学士学位。度路径。佛罗里达路径项目将使用一个转移模型，使MCS课程的学生，因此应该增加获得学士学位。降低成本，同时降低成本。智力价值将集中在生物学教育的研究，有助于转移途径和远程教育的知识体系。在线转学的学生可以获得两年的A.A.从社区学院获得学位，然后转入UF作为MCS专业。在五年内，该项目将提供大量的奖学金，约250名学术人才和低收入学生从MDC和150名来自其他佛罗里达社区学院。谁是在MDC和/或UF MCS程序转移后预转移的学生有资格获得支持。此外，佛罗里达途径奖学金获得者将获得教师的指导，并将有资格参加其他以证据为基础的干预措施，如同行为主导的辅导和教师指导的夏季研究。MCS转学生目前的毕业率明显低于非转学生。该项目旨在提高保留率，使所有MCS学生，无论转移状态如何，及时毕业，导致至少60-90个学士学位。学位毕业生谁否则不会一直留在STEM转移途径。这项研究将确定那些学术和社会因素，有助于观察到的保留和毕业率的差异。该分析将用于指导今后干预措施的设计，以使我们的转移人口取得持续成功。
