Welcome to the Gateways to Science Careers Program!

The gateways to science careers program is a collaborative effort between researchers across the nation. Our growing concern about the small number of minority students pursuing careers in science has motivated our effort to engage in research on the issues that caused these issues. Additionally the G2SC program offers trainers for future science education researchers. 

Working with Urban Students

The Gateways to Science Careers program is motivated by a recognition that in order to improve access into science careers, students would need examples. Without examples of scientists it would be difficult for students to see themselves in such a role. The same applies to science teachers, without examples pathways are difficult to follow.

Improving Research

Although our primary goal is to offer training for future science educators, we also want to provide innovative research in urban STEM teaching. Collectively, the scholars at the Gateways to Science Careers Program are focused on modeling excellent research while simultaneously training future scholars.
