The Colorado Advantage Program introduces students to the outstanding science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) doctoral programs at CU Boulder. The program invites prospective applicants to CU Boulder during a weekend in the fall to learn about STEM doctoral opportunities, meet with faculty, tour research facilities and interact with current graduate students. Applicants for the program must be currently applying for admission into a STEM PhD program.
The goal of the program is to recruit a diverse pool of candidates into CU Boulder’s STEM doctoral programs. All graduating seniors, post baccalaureates, and MS students interested in pursuing a STEM PhD and who seek to contribute to the advancement of diversity, equity, and inclusion at CU Boulder are encouraged to apply.
Groups severely underrepresented in STEM graduate education, as defined by the National Science Foundation, include African Americans, Hispanic/Latinos, American Indians/Alaska Natives that hold tribal membership, and Pacific Islanders (native peoples of Hawaii, Guam and Samoa).
