Texas A&M University System Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (TAMUS LSAMP) Bridge to the Doctorate (BTD) Cohort VII (2011-2013) Program - BD Site: TAMU

德克萨斯农工大学系统（TAMUS）路易斯·斯托克斯少数族裔参与联盟（LSAMP）将在2011-2013学年赞助德克萨斯农工大学的博士项目（BD）。该计划涉及与该机构的农业与生命科学学院（coal），科学学院（COS）和工程学院（COE）合作，以及参与TAMU-Kingsville等合作机构的研究项目。TAMUS LSAMP BD计划旨在增加未被充分代表的少数民族（URM）系统领域的科学，技术，工程或数学STEM博士的数量，并在大学内创建一个跨不同学科的研究生凝聚力社区。该计划通过提供研究生水平的机会和活动来促进研究生的教育和职业发展，从而造福社会。tamus LSAMP BTD项目还将通过推进联盟机构对STEM研究生和博士学位的追求，加强研究和教育的基础设施。自2003年以来，该联盟已经在该机构和Prairie View a&m大学为七组来自历史上代表性不足的群体的学生进行了NSF LSAMP到博士后学士学位的桥梁项目。11名学生完成了STEM博士课程，16名学生完成了STEM硕士学位。剩下的学生仍在攻读学士后学位或进入STEM博士课程。

The Texas A&M University System (TAMUS) Louis Stokes Alliance for MinorityParticipation (LSAMP) will sponsor a Bridge to the Doctorate Program (BD) at TexasA&M University during the 2011-2013 academic years. The program involvescollaboration with the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (COALS), the College ofScience (COS), and the College of Engineering (COE) at the institution as well asparticipation in research projects at partner institutions such as TAMU-Kingsville.The TAMUS LSAMP BD Program aims to increase the pool of science, technology,engineering or mathematics STEM PhDs among underrepresented minorities (URM) inSTEM fields and to create a cohesive community of graduate students across differentdisciplines within the university. The program benefits society by providing opportunities and activities at graduate levels that lead to educational and career enhancements of graduate students. TheTAMUS LSAMP BTD program will also enhance the infrastructure of research andeducation by advancing pursuit of graduate and doctoral STEM degrees at allianceinstitutions.Since 2003, the alliance has conducted the NSF LSAMP Bridge to the Doctorate postbaccalaureate program at this institution and Prairie View A&M University for seven cohorts of students from historically underrepresented groups pursuing STEM doctoral degrees. Eleven (11) students have completed STEM doctoral programs and 16 students have completed STEM M. S. degrees. The remaining students are still persisting at the postbaccalaureate level or have entered STEM Ph.D. programs.
