A program targeting first-generation, 和 low-income students.

The Science Pathways Scholars Program – (SP)² – is a highly selective four-year program that supports talented young students from low-income or first-generation households, who convey strong interest in biology, 化学, 计算机科学, environmental science, 物理学和天文学, 或神经科学. 学生 who are selected as (SP)² Scholars will benefit from an exceptional set of opportunities 和 resources.

E (SP)² is an NSF-funded program to prepare the next generation of diverse leaders in Environmental Science. The program is designed for students who intend on pursuing one of the majors in the Department of Environmental Science (Environmental Science or Environment 和 Sustainability) with an interest in Environmental Science, Sustainability or Environmental Justice. The goal is to increase 和 diversify the Environmental Science major 和 workforce.

(SP)² Scholars are supported by generous grants from the Arthur Vining Davis Foundations, the National Science Foundation, 和 the Blankfein Family. 

教师指导

Personal match with a faculty mentor in the sciences. Mentors will help Scholars transition through the introductory science classes to the selection of a major. Scholars will work closely with their mentors, who will serve as their initial academic advisors 和 help Scholars match to research experiences.

夏天的经验

A week-long, all-expenses-paid trip to Barnard for entering Scholars. Activities include introductions to Barnard’s science faculty, 科学部门, 和 research facilities, plus activities with fellow (SP)² 和E (SP)² incoming First-Years 和 current Scholars involved in Barnard’s Summer 研究 Institute.

A Cohort of Likeminded Peers

A series of seminars, discussion sessions, 和 social events with other (SP)² 和E (SP)² participants 和 faculty leaders, beginning with a one-credit science journal course in the first year. Other events scheduled throughout all four undergraduate years at Barnard help build a collaborative 和 engaging environment 和 a network of mutual support among peers 和 near peers.

Paid Summer 研究 Positions

During the three summers of a Scholar’s years at Barnard, h和s-on lab research experiences with Barnard faculty will be available. Scholars will receive compensation 和 summer housing through Barnard’s Summer 研究 Institute.

Academic Year 机会

机会 to conduct research in faculty labs during academic year, plus mini-grants to help Scholars complete senior projects, 参加会议, or prepare graduate school applications.

教师 mentorship is a cornerstone of these programs. 学生 are assigned a faculty mentor in their first year who will guide them through the program 和 science opportunities. For more information about the faculty mentors, click on their bios below.
