SUMSS participants receive additional advising and support to help them succeed across four years.
All SUMSS participants will engage in an intentional four-year career exploration process designed to enhance their readiness for the job market after graduation.
Scholars will also engage in a one-quarter data science research course, where they learn how to apply data science techniques to research projects in the biological and chemical sciences.
Scholars and faculty advisors will also engage with the Career Engagement Office and other resource offices on campus to develop their professional skills for applications and interviewing.
