ABOUT NSF AGEP
The NSF AGEP program at UC Santa Barbara is administered by the UCSB Graduate Division and the Division of Mathematical, Life, and Phyiscal Science, and the College of Engineering, who work in concert to support successful graduate admissions, and to facilitate networking and mentorship relationships within departments and disciplines. UCSB NSF AGEP is a member in an alliance among the ten campuses of the University of California system and the NSF. The goal of this partnership is to increase the number of underrepresented students who acquire doctoral degrees in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), and ultimately enter the professoriate.
The Graduate Division supports diversity of all kinds (including race, class, gender, and physical ability), and the NSF AGEP particularly focuses on supporting groups that have been historically underrepresented in STEM disciplines: African Americans, Alaskan Natives, American Indians, Hispanic Americans and Native Pacific Islanders.
NSF AGEP Activities
- Partnerships with California State Universities, Hispanic-Serving Institutions and Historically Black Colleges and Universities.
- Professional development seminars, interdisciplinary opportunities, and support for student-initiated community-building efforts.
- Staff who work closely with the divisional deans, faculty, administrators and students on recruitment, admissions, advising and matriculation.
- Graduate diversity interns who assist in maintaining an environment that fosters graduate student diversity.
