PROGRAM
COMPONENTS
Are you talented and plan to pursue the PhD, but earning an
MS along the way makes sense and you need support? The Louis
Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation - Bridge to Doctorate
(LSAMP-BD) Program at California State University, Los Angeles
(CSULA) is just the program you have been looking for. Participating
students will focus on activities that will enhance their
preparation for PhD studies in science, engineering and mathematics
(SEM). LSAMP-BD Program at California State University, Los
Angeles (CSULA) includes completion of a Master of Science
degree and entrance into a PhD program in a SEM discipline.
LSAMP-BD fellows are expected to complete the Master of Science
degree in science, mathematics or engineering within 24 months,
beginning Fall Quarter 2008 and ending Summer Quarter 2010.
It is expected that LSAMP-BD Scholars will begin PhD programs
by Fall Quarter 2010. Each participant will receive a $30,000
stipend per year for two years as long as targeted goals are
achieved. In addition, LSAMP-BD will pay for tuition and fees,
limited health insurance, research supplies, and travel to
professional conferences to present research results. Program's
activities are designed to ensure that each LSAMP-BD fellow:
•pursues
a rigorous curriculum of graduate study leading to a MS
degree in a SEM discipline in two years;
•participates in a project of original research and
acquires the skills required to communicate the outcomes
in written and oral formats [written thesis, publication(s)
in peer-reviewed journal(s), presentation(s) at national
scientific conferences, presentation at departmental seminar
or other on-campus program functions];
•receives intense advising, mentoring and academic
support necessary to become a confident and successful graduate
