A brief description of the institution’s programs that help increase the diversity of higher education faculty :
UGA participates in The Southern Regional Education Board (SREB) State Doctoral Scholars Program. The program is funded in part by participating states and participation depends upon university support. Only universities committed to the program's goals sponsor doctoral scholars. In return, some participating states require that doctoral scholars teach in-state after completing their degrees.
Also, the Peach State LSAMP is an NSF-funded program that supports undergraduates from under-represented groups seeking degrees in the STEM disciplines (Sciences, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). The program provides mentoring, financial support, and academic opportunities such as research. One of the program's main goals is to encourage these minority students to go on to graduate school and higher education. A long term view of this program is that they may pursue careers in academia.
