Graduate Admissions Preparation

The CSUDH McNair Scholars program is dedicated to achieving high levels of graduate school acceptance. In 2007, 100% of our scholars were admitted to graduate programs, and 100% of our prospective Ph.D. program students were fully funded.
Scholars undergo a full preparation program, including:
- Visits to local Research 1 institutions to meet with faculty of interest.
- Statement of purpose and curriculum vitae writing workshops.
- GRE preparation workshops.
- Seminars geared towards familiarizing students with the graduate application process and requirements.
- Educational planning and advising.
- Access to the program’s Graduate Assistant who provides academic support.
- Summer workshop series
