The Ronald E. McNair Post-Baccalaureate Achievement Program at the University of Washington is a Ph.D. preparatory program that prepares eligible undergraduate students for doctoral study through involvement in research and scholarly activities.

The McNair Scholars Program’s purpose is to assist in the academic and professional development of undergraduates whose goals are to teach and research at the college level. To help students achieve these goals, the program sponsors and supports undergraduate experiences that lay the foundation for a successful graduate school experience. By fostering mentoring relationships, promoting undergraduate research, and enabling students to attend and present at conferences, we aim to produce highly competitive graduate school applicants who have the skills and experiences necessary to succeed in their programs.
