What is UC AGEP?
Funded by the NSF, the University of California’s Alliance for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (UC AGEP) is a partnership among the ten campuses of the University of California to increase the number of underrepresented minority (URM) students who acquire doctorates in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) and enter the professoriate. To achieve this goal, UC AGEP has created a structured series of program initiatives that span the pathway to the professoriate from graduate school academic preparation, recruitment and admission to success in graduate school and in the acquisition of postdoctoral and professoriate positions.
