Program Overview
Mission The mission of the State University of New York
Alliance for Graduate Education and the
Professoriate (SUNY AGEP) is to provide an
important means of access to qualified
underrepresented minority students who are
interested in graduate study and careers in the
professoriate in science, engineering, and
mathematics. SUNY AGEP seeks to enrich student's
academic experience by creating an effective
network of faculty, students, and administrators
who embrace academic excellence and diversity.
We believe that these interactions will prove to
be a valuable experience, which will aid
retention and promote their success.
Program Components
SUNY AGEP plans to meet
program goals by:
- Increasing
interest in graduate study through SUNY
LSAMP activities and Summer Research
Institutes at University Centers and
Brookhaven National Lab.
- Improving
recruitment of doctoral students through
alumni outreach, departmental incentives,
recruitment visits, participation in
professional conferences, and identification
of barriers to admission.
- Improving
retention of doctoral students through
tracking and intervention by program staff,
increasing faculty awareness of diversity
issues, and community building among
graduate students.
- Increasing the
number of students entering the
professoriate through the establishment of
mentoring programs, providing teaching
experiences, and providing opportunities for
students to engage in research.
