SJSU BRIDGES TO THE BACCALAUREATE DEGREE

本申请中提出的持续合作伙伴关系是圣何塞州立大学（SJSU），圣何塞城市学院（SJCC）和万年青谷学院（EVC）之间。每年将选出10名新生参加该项目。该计划的目的是：（1）早期识别最初计划主修科学的少数民族学生。(2)这些学生在社区学院的第一年开始学习数学和科学课程。(3)在社区学院的保留，指导和建议。(4)在SJSU保留，指导和建议。(5)在圣何塞州立大学或同等机构进行研究。社区学院顾问将适当地建议学生学习其专业的正确课程;他们将每周定期与顾问见面;他们将酌情作为导师或被导师参加数学和科学课程的辅导;他们将在夏季学习适当的科学和数学课程，以便他们能够在社区学院学习科学课程;他们将在SJSU进行至少一个夏天的研究。一些第二年的学生将继续在学年期间对他们的研究项目的工作。通过这些努力，我们希望学生转入四年制大学。

The continuing partnership proposed in this application is between San Jose State University (SJSU), San Jose City College (SJCC), and Evergreen Valley College (EVC). Ten new students would be selected each year to participate in the program. The purposes of the Program are: (1) Early identification of minority students who initially plan to major in science. (2) Starting these students in mathematics and science courses in their first year at the community colleges. (3) Retention, mentoring and advising at the community colleges. (4) Retention, mentoring and advising at SJSU. (5) Research at San Jose State, or an equivalent institution. The students will be properly advised into the correct courses for their major by the community college advisors; they will meet with the advisors on a regular basis each week; they will participate in tutoring sessions for mathematics and science courses, either as the tutor or the tutoree, as appropriate; they will take appropriate science and mathematics courses in the summer to allow them to take science courses in the community colleges; and they will have a minimum of one summer of research at SJSU. Some of the second year students will continue work on their research projects during the academic year. Through these efforts, we expect the students to transfer into a four-year university.
