Best Practices from a Bridge-to-PhD Program at the University of Michigan

In 2010, the University of Michigan Applied Physics Program launched a Master's degree bridge program designed to prepare students from underrepresented groups for doctoral studies in interdisciplinary research in applied physics, physical sciences and engineering. The program is fully integrated with ourPhD program and enables smooth transition of the bridge students into our PhD program. In this talk, I will share some of our best practices that can be used by other programs that are interested in enhancing diversity
