What is the AGEP Program?
The University of Michigan,
Michigan State University,
Western Michigan University, and
Wayne State University comprise the Michigan AGEP Alliance for Graduate Education and the
Professoriate (AGEP) Program. The AGEP program recruits, supports and mentors
underrepresented minority students who earn doctoral degrees in science,
technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines.
A Synopsis of the Program
The AGEP program is intended to increase significantly the number of domestic
students receiving doctoral degrees in the sciences, technology, engineering,
and mathematics (STEM), with special emphasis on those population groups
underrepresented in these fields (i.e., African Americans, Hispanics, American
Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians or other Pacific Islanders). In
addition, AGEP is particularly interested in increasing the number of minorities
who will enter the professoriate in these disciplines.
Specific objectives of the AGEP program are (1) to develop and implement
innovative models for recruiting, mentoring, and retaining minority students in
STEM doctoral programs, and (2) to develop effective strategies for identifying
and supporting underrepresented minorities who want to pursue academic careers.
SBE Programs
The University of Michigan as well as Wayne State University,
Michigan State University, and
The City College of New York have embarked on incorporating programs in the Social,
Behavioral, and Economic (SBE) sciences into AGEP. A listing of the programs
from each of the partner universities is available here.
