We would also like to congratulate the USC Undergraduates that participated in the McNair Scholars Program in recent years. These students were offered admission to graduate school programs across California and the U.S. Please refer to the link/PDF noted below to see the summary of admission offers for the years of 2012 – 2015. In 2014, 10 students were offered admission to a doctoral-level program and 10 students acquired admission to a masters-level program, making this a historic year. Typically 4 to 6 students in any given year get into a doctoral program and another 5 – 8 get into master’s programs. At the present time, nearly 50 students have received a doctoral degree and at least another 150 have received master’s degrees.  Currently, there are at least 75 students in the graduate school pipeline working on acquiring their advanced degree. We look forward to learning about their ongoing achievements and experiences. Join us in congratulating the following students and in celebrating their incredible accomplishments!
