Math Plus One: A Scholarship Program Enabling Young Mathematicians to Achieve Their Academic and Career Goals Through Dual Majors

拉萨尔大学的数学加一（M+1）计划将通过专注于职业准备，强大的学生支持服务和奖学金资助来招收数学学生，这将使大学更实惠。M+1计划将招收16名学生（两组8人），他们将主修数学和其他相关领域，重点是计算机科学、经济学、金融和化学领域。M+1毕业生在寻求研究生就业时将具有竞争优势，并将填补大费城地区的关键劳动力需求。喇沙学院将为每位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，并接受数学顾问委员会成员的职业指导。数学顾问委员会将由当地商界和教育界领袖组成，他们除了指导学者外，还将指导和帮助M+1项目的发展。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样化，为S-STEM学生提供强有力的支持服务，确保S-STEM学生及时毕业并在毕业后获得相应的领域职位。招聘工作将针对在该领域代表性不足的学生，特别是妇女和少数民族。

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.
