inclusive graduate education network
March 15, 2024
Bridge Programs invite promising senior undergraduates or bachelor’s degree recipients in the physical sciences (astronomy, chemical engineering, chemistry, geoscience, physics, or closely related fields) to participate in one-to-two-year transitional or traditional graduate programs. Some transition programs are post-baccalaureate programs that provide research experience, advanced coursework, mentoring, and coaching to prepare a graduate school application, while others are traditional graduate programs.
