McNair Program
The University Of Rochester Ronald E. McNair Post-Baccalaureate Achievement Program is designed to encourage intellectually gifted undergraduates to consider enrolling in graduate programs in various disciplines, and beyond this, to complete the Ph.D. and enter the academy as college and university professors and researchers. Charged with the mission of helping increase the diversity of college and university faculty, the McNair Program is centered on increasing the number of low-income, first-generation and underrepresented minority college students who pursue and complete the doctoral degree. This is done by providing the opportunity for students to conduct research under the guidance of faculty mentors in preparation for the rigors of graduate study. Students accepted to the program attend a series of colloquia, receive training for the Graduate Record Exam and are trained to present the results of their research at university-sponsored and national academic conferences.
