The Fisk-Vanderbilt Masters-to-PhD Bridge Program is seeking students with undergraduate majors in physics, chemistry, biology, or other science disciplines, who are motivated to pursue the PhD but require additional coursework, training, and/or research experience.  Unlike a post-baccalaureate program, successful students earn a master’s degree upon completion of the program’s requirements. By completing a master’s degree under the guidance of caring faculty mentors, students in the Fisk-Vanderbilt Masters-to-PhD Bridge program develop the strong academic foundation, research skills, and one-on-one mentoring relationships that will foster a successful transition to the PhD. The program is flexible and is individualized to the goals and needs of each student. Courses are selected to address any gaps in academic preparation, and research experiences are provided that allow students to develop — and to demonstrate — their full scientific talent and potential. To date, 92% of students admitted into the Bridge Program have successfully gained admission into a PhD program at Vanderbilt or to another PhD program of their choice.

The program provides:

• Full access to instructional opportunities at both Fisk and Vanderbilt, leading to the completion of most or all coursework required for the PhD;
• Research performed with Fisk and Vanderbilt faculty, leading to the selection of a Vanderbilt PhD adviser;
• A nurturing, friendly academic environment and a warm, social network with other Bridge students, post-docs, and faculty;
• Full funding support, including full tuition, monthly stipend, and health insurance.

Disciplines currently included in the program leading to a PhD at Vanderbilt University are physics, materials science, biology, chemistry, and biomedical sciences. The application deadline is March 15, 2012. Applications and program details are available online at http://www.vanderbilt.edu/gradschool/bridge

Please note that some of the programs have not updated their website information and thus state 2011 dates.

The majority of the programs are due around the same time every year.

Students should follow up directly with any program contacts and websites to retrieve 2012 applications and deadlines.

What’s great about being an Apple At-Home Advisor is that you’ve probably already got what it takes to do the job. And what you don’t, we’ll provide for you in the form of comprehensive paid training and regular support to make sure you’re successful.

They are action-oriented and very self-motivated—not only taking great care of our customers, but also proactively identifying issues that can prevent future customer concerns. In addition, an At-Home Advisor has a high technical aptitude, good problem-solving skills, and a desire to help others find answers.

A job at Apple is unlike any other you’ve had. You’ll be challenged. You’ll be inspired. And you’ll be proud. Because whatever your job is here, you’ll be part of something big. Bring passion and dedication to the table—like everyone here—and there’s no telling what you could accomplish.
