Ronald E. McNair Program

Ronald E. McNair Postbaccalaureate Achievement Program

Welcome to the Ronald E. McNair Postbaccalaureate Achievement Program at the University of Colorado at Boulder. The McNair Program prepares selected CU-Boulder undergraduates from all ethnicities to study at the doctoral level. This program was created in 1996 to honor Dr. Ronald E. McNair, an astronaut and physicist who died in the Challenger explosion. The U.S. Congress endowed the Ronald E. McNair Postbaccalaureate Achievement Program to encourage college students with similar backgrounds to Dr. McNair to enroll in graduate study.

This is not an application for admission to CU-Boulder. Visit http://www.colorado.edu/prospective/ for more on that process.
