Bridge to Doctorate in Conjunction with PRODUCE
The PRODUCE Program (A member of the NC-LSAMP) at UNC Charlotte has been funded as a second cohort of the Bridge to the Doctorate program sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF).  The Bridge to the Doctorate Program seeks to broaden the participation of underrepresented students in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).  In addition, the program assists the matriculation of a larger number of these well-trained and educated students to graduate school.
