Pathway Programs in the Biological Sciences Division

According to the National Science Foundation (NSF), Pathway Programs enhance diversity in the academic fields of science and medicine by broadening and stimulating student access to these diverse areas of study. Pathways are specifically charged with addressing the long standing underrepresentation of racially minoritized groups and women within STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) “but many, if not most programs, increase awareness, access, engagement, and inclusion for all students.” Similar to national standards, pathways within the Biological Sciences Division are designed to serve the needs of unique target groups– these include high school students, undergraduate and graduate students, and post-doctoral fellows.
