UW Bridge to the Chemistry Doctorate

The UW Bridge to the Chemistry Doctorate Program is a post-baccalaureate program aimed at increasing the number of students from under-represented minority groups who complete the Ph.D. degree in chemistry. The Bridge Program is a 21-month Research Master of Science (M.S.) degree program that is specifically designed to provide students a range of experiences and mentorship that will increase their chances of success in obtaining a Ph.D. in chemistry. The UW Bridge Program is a partnership with the American Chemical Society, funded by the National Science Foundation INCLUDES Program together with funds from the University of Wisconsin-Madison Graduate School and the College of Letters and Science.
