NSF funding of Bridge to the Doctorate activities in the California State University-Louis Stokes Alliance has enabled the California State University to provide a highly successful Master's level "bridge" to broadening participation in STEM at the doctoral level. To date, CSU-LSAMP has supported 78 BD-Fellows in Master's level study and we anticipate that 75-80% of these students will be successful in completing STEM doctoral study at Research I (RU/VH) Institutions. California State University, Los Angeles serves as the site for the 2008-2010 BD-VI Cohort activities and provides the opportunity for collaboration of LSAMP with Cal State LA's Minority Opportunities in Research (MORE) Programs and its CEA-CREST Program, the two most successful research participation-based STEM student development programs on the campus.
California State University, Los Angeles California State University, Los Angeles (Cal State LA), one of the 23 campuses of the California State University system, is located in one of the major centers of minority populations in the United States and serves large numbers of students from these communities. Cal State LA has a deep, historically-based institutional commitment to advancing diversity in higher education, in general, and in STEM, in particular. Cal State LA was the first university in California to qualify for full membership in the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities, and is federally designated as a Hispanic Serving Institution. Cal State LA has played a significant role in the development of minority science education efforts through-out California. The campus has also been a part of the CSU-LSAMP Alliance since its inception in 1994 and has served with distinction as the graduate institu-tional site for four of CSU-LSAMP’s BD programs.
