Minority Research Programs
Our Office of Student Development promotes an environment that reflects and builds respect for the diversity of humanity. Our goal is to reduce the documented disparity in the number of U.S. minority students who graduate with biomedical and clinical sciences doctoral degrees. We start by developing and coordinating new academic programs to increase the number of underrepresented students graduating from our basic and medical science programs. By increasing diversity on our campus, we’re then able to continue providing high-quality education in an increasingly diverse local and global community.
Summer Research Programs
- Apprenticeship Bridge to College (ABC) - High school students participate in an eight-week summer internship program in health disparities research.
- Undergraduate Training Program (UTP) - College students participate in a nine-week summer internship program, gaining practical lab research experience.
- Medical Training Program (MTP) - Medical students participate in a summer research project with prominent scientists.
Minority Fellowship
