1 HISTORICALLY BLACK COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES (HBCU) MASTER S DEGREE STEM PROGRAM Proposal - (P382G Year 6 of Grant Cycle) NARRATIVE: The HBCU Master s degree program will strengthen and improve graduate education at Fayetteville State University by providing financial assistance, academic and non-academic assistance and support to African American and low income students in STEM disciplines to increase their enrollment, persistence, progression and graduation; providing research and development opportunities for both faculty and students in STEM disciplines; and maintaining a support office to ensure program implementation and the achievement of the aforementioned goals and objectives. FSU s program is specifically designed to accomplish the following objectives: 1. Increase the number of African American and low income students who earn degrees in STEM by providing scholarships and stipends; and to provide opportunities for students to engage in research and internships in their respective degree programs. 2. Improve the preparation of public school teachers in the STEM disciplines by offering opportunities for graduate education. 3. Attract, retain and support graduate faculty members by providing support for research, publications, and professional development opportunities and activities. 1
2 4. Provide academic and non-academic support, professional development, career development, and counseling resources to assist students to achieve success in STEM disciplines. Despite the discontinuation of the Master s Degree Programs in biology and mathematics, the overarching goals and plans remain the same as do the objectives of the grant. In addition to student support, the grant will provide support primarily to programs and faculty in the MAT and M.Ed. programs with concentrations in biology, science, and mathematics. All activities from will continue to be implemented in - as approved. NEED FOR FUNDING: Program objectives include improving the preparation of public school teachers in the STEM disciplines by offering opportunities for graduate education; providing professional development opportunities for faculty; providing opportunities for students to engage in research; and increasing the number of African Americans and low income students who earn degrees in STEM programs. The current and new activities will help us respond to the shortage of math and science teachers, strengthen our current STEM programs, provide professional development and research opportunities for faculty and students, and increase the number of African American and low income graduate students in STEM disciplines at FSU. The University continues to experience severe budget reductions. Without this grant, students and faculty would not receive the research and professional development support outlined above. Many prospective students are prevented from pursuing a graduate degree because of their limited financial resources. 2
3 Without scholarships provided through this grant, these individuals would not be able to pursue graduate degrees. Additionally, any graduate students require both academic and non-academic support and counseling to help them achieve success in the STEM disciplines. Most faculty members have heavy teaching responsibilities; the grant provides research mini-grants, travel grants, research and laboratory supplies, and other resources to support faculty research productivity both independently and with students, instruction, and professional development. This grant supports our efforts to attract and retain quality faculty who contribute to the success of our students. MAJOR ANTICIPATED OUTCOMES: These activities will assist the University in meeting the shortage of public school teachers in STEM disciplines, increase the number of African American and low income students in enrolled STEM graduate disciplines and strengthen and update graduate programs in education with concentrations in STEM at FSU. Fayetteville State currently offers the Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) degree with concentrations in biology and mathematics and the Master of Education degree with concentrations in biology, mathematics, and middle grade mathematics. Our anticipated outcomes include an increase in student and faculty research, placement and advancement of public school teachers, employment in STEM-related disciplines, graduation within a timely manner, and number of students pursuing doctoral and professional degrees in STEM-related disciplines. 3
4 RELATIONSHIP TO UNIVERSITY S STRATEGIC PRIORITES: One of Fayetteville State University s strategic priorities is to increase retention and graduation rates and be a university of choice for students in North Carolina and the nation through innovation and excellence in teaching; a highly qualified faculty and staff; enhanced degree programs in teacher education, science, technology, business, humanities, and the social sciences; improved student services; and excellent facilities and advanced technology. These activities address this strategic priority. MAJOR GRANT PERIOD ACCOMPLISHMENTS, TO DATE: The grant is enabling institutional improvements not formerly available. With the funding the graduate school has been able to focus on areas of student need, support for faculty to conduct research and improve their teaching. Funding has supported workshops geared towards helping students persist and progress through their programs with less difficulty. Writing workshops, publication workshops, portfolio development, student research conferences, and a summer statistics and research methodology institute are some of the major activities that have been achieved by the grant. Faculty and students have been supported to participate in workshops and conferences directly related to their areas of research, and mini grants have helped faculty further their research interests while involving graduate students in their research. This has provided applied experiences for students. The mere fact that the graduate school can offer scheduled meetings, mentoring and advisement through a staff dedicated to graduate student success is support that was not previously available for students studying at the graduate level in STEM programs at 4
5 the university. Providing scholarships to graduate students has helped the institution to attract and retain students to programs they were not formerly able to afford. All students in the Program are in good academic standing and are on track to graduate in a timely manner. All students attend at least one research or professional conference each year, and at least 50% of the students give either a poster or oral presentation of their research at a conference each year. All students also participate in the summer statistics and research methodology institute which expands upon what they learn in their courses and provides them with support in designing their research projects. The Program purchased a poster printer for research posters and provides opportunities for students to have trial presentation sessions prior to their conference presentations. Additionally, the Program continues to implement a laptop and calculator loaner program for students who are unable to purchase them items for use in their classes and research; the Eleven public school teachers have received direct support through this grant; and additional two students are pursuing their degrees to become public school teachers all in STEM subject areas. Three of our scholarship recipients currently are in doctoral programs; four additional students are applying for admission for next academic year. Forty-eight (48) research mini-grants and 23 travel grants have been awarded to faculty. This support enables faculty conduct research, present their findings at conference and receive feedback that helps them in preparing their manuscripts for publication. This activities support our efforts to retain quality faculty and faculty members pursuit of reappointment, tenure, and promotion. Faculty have involved students in their research and provided them with mentoring and supervision. 5
