A brief description of the institution’s programs that help increase the diversity of higher education faculty :
UCLA Alliance for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP)
This program is funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF). Its mission is to increase the number of underrepresented minority students (African American, Hispanics, American Indians, and Native Hawaiians, Alaska Natives or other Pacific Islanders) in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) PhD programs. The UCLA AGEP program has numerous support services to help their students transition to graduate life and apply to graduate school. The mission of this program is to significantly increase the number of underrepresented minority students receiving doctoral degrees in the STEM programs. A number of strategic methods to achieve this goal include:
-Summer enrichment opportunities for undergraduate, master's and doctoral students
-Pre-application events
-Partnerships with Minority Serving Institutions which include Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU), California State Universities (CSU), Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCU)
-Targeted interactions with admissions committees
-Increased campus visitations
-Increased networking opportunities
-Improved faculty mentoring
-Professional and academic skills workshops
-Creation of new models for increasing URM access to and participation in postdoctoral scholar positions, ensuring competitiveness for academic positions
