Graduate Pathways to STEM

Main content start

Bay Area Graduate Pathways to STEM (GPS) is a one-day symposium co-sponsored with UC Berkeley. At GPS, students attend informative workshops that address the benefits of pursuing an advanced degree in Engineering, both MS and PhD. In addition, participants get the opportunity to connect with  graduate students from Stanford and UC Berkeley who can offer guidance on the graduate application process.

The mission of Bay Area GPS is to inspire diverse talent to become the next generation of innovative leaders through advanced engineering degrees. Bay Area GPS promotes graduate school opportunities for students who have been historically minoritized in STEM, including first-generation students and low-income students at Bay Area, Northern California, and select Southern California universities.
