LSAMP Bridge to the Doctorate

杰克逊州立大学（JSU）和密西西比路易斯·斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟（LS-MAMP）合作伙伴继续将其集体资源集中在LSAMP毕业生的丰富的全国性人才库上，每年生产超过25，000人，为LS-MAMP博士学位课程（BD）招聘。这些互动产生的协同作用继续以前所未有的方式改变这些机构之间合作的教学，研究和行政方面。面向BD的STEM学科包括：化学、数学、生物学、环境科学、计算机科学和工程学。为扩大LS-MAMP BD项目所要求的支持将继续加速和增加少数民族学生进入博士学位的人数。渠道. 该计划的成功是基于这样一个理论，即追求硕士学位的少数民族学生。有潜力完成博士学位。如果提供足够的财政支持，严格的课程，致力于指导和国家和国际广泛的研究经验，STEM领域的学位。LS-MAMP BD计划的第七个队列的增加将使该计划支持的学生人数增加到82人。该计划是高度互动，涵盖了前两年的学生？研究生终身教职，℃下预计学生将继续他们的工作，直到博士学位。在第一年，学生满足他们的学位课程所需的核心课程，并选择他们的研究顾问。在第一个夏天，学生通过在国家或国际实验室，公司和大学进行短期访问和实习，接触科学和技术劳动力环境。在此期间，学生和他们的教师顾问不断互动的学习经验和研究项目的启动。第二年致力于研究，撰写M.S.论文，参加专业课程和申请博士课程和奖学金。

Jackson State University (JSU) and the Mississippi Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (LS-MAMP) partners continue to focus their collective resources on the rich nationwide pool of LSAMP graduates, with over 25,000 produced annually, to recruit for the LS-MAMP Bridge to the Doctorate Program (BD). The synergy resulting from these interactions continues to transform the instructional, research and administrative aspects of cooperation among these institutions in ways never before envisioned. STEM disciplines targeted for BD include: chemistry, mathematics, biology, environmental science, computer science, and engineering. The requested support for the expansion of the LS-MAMP BD prgram will continue to accelerate and increase the numbers of minority students entering the Ph.D. pipeline. The success of the program is based upon the theory that minority students who pursue the M.S. degree have the potential to complete the Ph.D. degree in STEM areas if provided sufficient financial support, rigorous curricula, committed mentoring and national and international extensive research experiences.The addition of a seventh Cohort to the LS-MAMP BD program will increase the number of students who have been supported by the program to 82. The program is highly interactive covering the first two years of the students? graduate tenure leading to the M.S. degree. Students are expected to continue their work through to the doctorate. During the first year the students satisfy the required core courses of their degree program and select their research advisor. During the first summer, the students are exposed to scientific and technical workforce environments through short term visits and internships at national or international laboratories, corporations and universities. During this time, students and their faculty advisors continually interact on the learning experiences and initiation of research projects. The second year is dedicated to research, writing the M.S. thesis, taking specialized courses and applying for admission to doctoral programs and fellowships.
