Bridge to the Doctorate Program
The University of California Bridge to the Doctorate (BD) program at UC Santa Barbara is sponsored by the National Science Foundation Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (LSAMP) and is part of the CAMP program. We seek applications from talented LSAMP graduates to pursue a Ph.D. at UC Santa Barbara in Science, Engineering and Mathematics.
UC Santa Barbara offers an exceptional research environment, as evidenced both by highly ranked departments and by strong interdisciplinary graduate programs that cross traditional STEM boundaries. Our BD program will be integrated into this research community, and will offer a comprehensive suite of professional development and career preparation activities, academic support, and a mentoring network to propel BD Scholars to success in their desired careers.
Support for this program is provided by the National Science Foundation: EES- 2404971. Any opinion, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the authors(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science Foundation.
