Bridges to the Doctorate

Important Announcement

On April 2, 2025, we received notice from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) that the goals of the Bridges to the Doctorate program no longer match the priorities of the NIH and therefore the program was terminated. Bridges to the Doctorate programs across the country received similar termination notices on the same day.

We encourage students who want to pursue an M.S. degree to view BeachScholarships and to be aware that they can work on campus for up to 20 hours per week as Teaching Assistants/Instructional Student Assistants/Student Assistants. These jobs include teaching lab courses, preparing for lab courses, and serving as graders, and can be requested through your Department Coordinator.
