If you are interested in majoring in the sciences, math or engineering please consider applying to the STARS program! (If you’re not interested in these majors, you can ignore this message). STARS is for students who have historically been underrepresented in these fields. This includes students of color, women, students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, first generation college students, and the physically challenged. The program will offer:
- Study group workshops focused on the first and second year courses in Biology, Chemistry, Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry, Chemical and Biomedical Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science
- Faculty and graduate student mentors
- Panels of interest to you and
- Social events
Previous STARS students have loved the program and an evaluation of the program showed that students who participate in STARS perform better and are much more likely to graduate in their intended major than those who did not do STARS.
Application Deadline: September 9, 2013 at 4:00 p.m.
