About Us

 The PMPDPP program is funded by the State of New Jersey’s Educational Opportunity Fund (EOF) and is a four year undergraduate degree program; all students study on a full-time basis. Most students study a science or math major in the College of Arts and Sciences.  PMPDPP undergraduate students receive academic, career, and personal counseling.  Students work with the program's Student Development Specialist (SDS) to plan course work in preparation for advanced level science courses, as well as the student’s own academic interests to develop an education plan that will assist in establishing ones academic and career goals. Tutoring in key science disciplines is offered at least twice weekly.  A sense of community is fostered through meetings with the SDS, Director, and monthly student meetings.

After acceptance, students must attend a six-week program in the summer prior to their Fall semester.  This program offers students six college credits in college-level chemistry and mathematics, a writing workshop, and additional supplemental courses designed to facilitate the transition to studying at the college level.
