Now Accepting Applications for Summer 2008!

Complete Application Due May 11!

The MARC-U*STAR program at UTSA provides research training opportunities for outstanding undergraduate bioscience, chemistry, mathematics, statistics, computer science or engineering majors who are interested in pursuing doctoral education (Ph.D. or combined professional/Ph.D.) and professional careers as research scientists. This National Institute of General Medical Sciences funded program allows participants to immerse themselves in laboratory research and assists them in developing skills required for successful completion of graduate-level training.

The MARC-U*STAR (Minority Access to Research Careers - Undergraduate Student Training for Academic Research) program is designed by the federal government to ensure that talented and motivated minority and disadvantaged students interested in developing professional careers as research scientists, have the opportunity to completely immerse themselves in a laboratory environment. 

The MARC-U*STAR program equips participants with the knowledge and skills that they need for a successful career in the biological sciences.  All MARC participants perform original scientific research and present their findings at scientific meetings.  They take courses and participate in activities designed to enhance their qualifications at their particular level of career development.  They attend an off-campus summer research program.  They are introduced to a broad range of scientific disciplines and are provided with networking opportunities with representatives of some of the nation's top research universities.  It is the goal and the hope of program staff that all of our students obtain doctoral school admission, successfully complete their degrees, and pursue satisfying careers in the research sciences.
