Are you majoring in science or mathematics at CI, and thinking about graduate studies in your field? If you are, then we are looking for you!
The CSU Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation is a CSU program designed to increase in the number of students who are pursuing graduate study in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM). CI-LSAMP brings together students with similar interests and motivation to excel and to participate in a collaborative learning environment conducive to success.
Students who are majoring in a STEM discipline—Applied Physics, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Environmental Science and Resource Management, or Mathematics, who want to consider earning an M.S. and/or a Ph.D. in their field, and who face barriers to education are encouraged to apply for this program.

To be eligible for the CSU-LSAMP program a student must:
- be a US Citizen or Permanent Resident

- be within two years of graduation
