*Bridge to PhD* program goal is to increase the number of PhD’s awarded in mathematics at Penn to members of groups that are traditionally underrepresented. This program is different than typical Master’s programs as students will be fully funded and prepared for entry into the UPenn Math PhD program. The Bridge to PhD program seeks students with the persistence and passion to pursue the training they need to be ready for a PhD in mathematics. *Bridge to PhD* will provide students with a nurturing atmosphere, close mentoring, and opportunities to perform high-level mathematics research.
For more details, see http://bridge.math.upenn.edu. Please feel free to contact the program coordinators, as they would be happy to discuss *Bridge to PhD* with you.
