Bridge to the Doctorate

Thank you for your interest in Delaware State University’s upcoming Bridge to the Doctorate (BTD) program slated to begin in August 2009.  This program establishes a bridge helping students to obtain a Ph.D. by providing the financial support to pursue graduate level studies, providing faculty mentors to guide students academically and professionally, and surrounding students with a support network of staff assisting them in accomplishing their goals.  The program seeks to encourage students’ interest in graduate study by removing the financial barriers associated with continued study and hesitancy surrounding admission pre-requisites.

The successful applicant will plan to pursue a Ph.D. degree in a science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) discipline, as indicated on the attached list of sanctioned programs of study.  Applicants to the program are evaluated on the basis of their record of achievement, as well as their research experiences, motivation, and connection to their field of study.

We look forward to receiving your application for graduate admission to the BTD Program.   Please forward your inquires to the Project Director Dr. Mazen Shahin, 302.857.7869 or email: btd@desu.edu.
