Florida Memorial University (FMU) in Miami Gardens and Florida A&M University (FAMU) in Tallahassee recently established Ph.D Pathways, a new partnership that will create a pipeline for FMU students to pursue doctoral study at FAMU.
“This partnership is about opening doors — and then building a bridge strong enough for our students to walk across,” said William C. McCormick, Jr., president of Florida Memorial University. “Our students have the talent, determination, and intellectual capacity to excel at the highest levels of education. Through this partnership with Florida A&M University, we are creating a pathway that connects that talent to doctoral education, research, and opportunities to lead.”
Under the new agreement, FMU students will have a structured opportunity to learn about and prepare for doctoral programs at FAMU. Participating students will receive enhanced access to academic advising, faculty mentorship, research opportunities, information about graduate programs, and guidance throughout the doctoral application process.
“Florida Memorial University and Florida A&M University are doing this work together — preparing scholars and seeing them through to the advanced degree”, said Marva B. Johnson, president of Florida A&M University. “Our faculty, our laboratories, and our graduate programs are ready to welcome these students, and I look forward to seeing their names on the research, discoveries and in the professions that will shape the future.”
