The Bridge to the Ph.D. Program in STEM is designed to increase the participation of individuals who have encountered barriers on their path to a graduate education in Ph.D. programs in STEM disciplines. The Bridge Program is an intensive research, academic, and mentoring experience for post-baccalaureates seeking to strengthen their graduate school applications and to prepare for the transition into Ph.D. programs. Recent bridge alumni have gone on to Ph.D. programs at Columbia University, but also to programs at the University of Chicago, University of Utah, University of Wisconsin, Harvard, Johns Hopkins, and Princeton.
