Minority Access to Research Careers-Undergraduate Student Training for Academic Research (MARC-U*STAR) Program.

OBJECTIVES:

The Minority Access to Research Careers-Undergraduate Student Training in Academic
    Research (MARC-U*STAR) Program at Northern Arizona University. Participation in the
    MARC-U*STAR is an exceptional opportunity to enhance your academic and professional career
    through involvement in contemporary biomedical research under the guidance of faculty research
    directors.

The objective of this honors undergraduate research training program is to increase the pool
    of well-prepared minority undergraduate students who can successfully compete for positions in
    top graduate programs leading to the Ph.D or Ph.D/MD, in scientific fields useful to biomedical
    research. To this end, faculty mentors at NAU train a small group of highly qualified junior and
    senior minority students in an honors program strong in research opportunities and science
    curriculum. The program is funded by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences of the
    National Institutes of Health.
