MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES CONNECTIONS TO PRODUCE PhDs
The Mathematical Sciences Connections to Produce PhDs program focuses on enhancing the
undergraduate experience with discovery activities that hone skills, build confidence and provide familiarity
with principles of graduate level study in the mathematical sciences, physics and related disciplines.
The overall goal is to strengthen the mathematical foundation during the undergraduate years
in preparation for graduate studies in mathematics, physics, computer science, statistics, engineering
and related disciplines. Mathematical Science (MS) Scholars participating in the program work on
special projects and are mentored by faculty at Benedict College and our PhD granting partnership
institutions. Select scholars may receive academic year stipends and spend their summers engaged
in research and graduate school preparation programs hosted by our PhD granting partnership institutions.
