2017-2018 McNair Scholars
The Ronald E. McNair Postbaccalaureate Achievement Program prepares qualified undergraduates for entry to graduate school, with the primary goal of increasing the attainment of Ph.D. degrees by students from underrepresented segments of society. The McNair Program prepares graduate school bound undergraduates through three areas: research, graduate school preparation, and personal experiences.
