CSU-LSAMP Program Participation

Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation For Undergraduate Students in the California State University system

The CSU-LSAMP Program is a comprehensive, statewide program dedicated to increasing the number of students from graduating from campuses of the California State University (CSU) with baccalaureate degrees in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. Initiated in 1994, the CSU-LSAMP Alliance currently consists of all 23 campuses of the CSU. The STEM Pathways and Research Alliance (SPaRA) proposed a continued emphasis on activities designed to enhance graduate school preparedness of upper division students.
