BMACS Scholars: Completing Their Degree

该计划延续了CSEMS成功完成的计划，该计划超过了其在整个大学范围内实现95%的保留率和按时毕业率的目标。它实现了显著提高我们有才华但经济困难的学生及时完成本科学位的保留率和机会的目标。该项目录取和继续学习的最低学历在专业和总体上都是B平均水平。之前的项目成功地资助了40名学生，他们每年从60多名合格的申请者中挑选出来。目前的计划招收更多的少数族裔学生，为每位学者提供各自领域的应用型经验，在毕业后帮助每位学者就业或研究生入学，并在两年结束时保留95%的学者毕业。智力优势：该计划在为每个学生选择合适和具有挑战性的课程工作方面具有很强的咨询作用，并辅之以几项课外学科相关活动。它为数学和计算机科学的学生提供广泛的讲座和研讨会机会，以及几个研究项目。更广泛的影响：以前的项目有相同数量的男女学生和6%的少数族裔代表，与校园人口多少相当。该学院承诺将少数族裔参与该项目的比例提高到10%。

This program continues a successfully completed CSEMS program that more than met its goal of 95% college-wide retention and on-time graduation rates. It achieved its goal of significantly increasing the retention rate and opportunity for our talented, but economically disadvantaged, students, to complete their undergraduate degrees in a timely manner. The minimum academic qualifications for acceptance and continuation in the program are a B average both in the major and overall. The previous program successfully supported 40 students, chosen each year out of a pool of more than 60 qualified applicants. The current program recruits more minority students, provides each scholar with application-oriented experiences in their field, assists each scholar with employment or graduate school admission upon graduation, and retains 95% of the scholars to graduation at end of two years.Intellectual merit: The program has a strong advisory component in the selection of appropriate and challenging course work for each student, supplemented with several out-of-class discipline-related activities. It provides an extensive lecture and seminar exposure for students in mathematics and computer science, as well as several research projects.Broader impact: The previous program had an equal number of female and male students and a 6% minority representation, somewhat matching the campus population. The college is committed to increase minority participation in the program to 10%.
