Emerging Scholars Initiative Post-Baccalaureate Research Education Program (ESI-PREP)

ESI-PREP is a one year program to provide recent college graduates in the humanities, social sciences, and physical sciences with a foundation of knowledge and skills for success as a PhD graduate student. The program is particularly interested in identifying and providing research experience to students from underrepresented backgrounds.

Science, Technology and Research Scholars (STARS)

The program provides undergraduates (generally first and second years) an opportunity to combine course-based study, research, mentorship, networking, and career planning in STEM disciplines. There are currently three components to this program: STARS Academic Year Program, the STARS Summer Research Program, and the STARS II Program (supports juniors).

Center for the Integration of Research, Teaching, and Learning (CIRTL)
