Mission Statement and Goals

Ruby Punch and Carl McNair

The mission of the McNair Program is to increase the number of low-income and first generation college students or students belonging to underrepresented ethnic groups, who complete a doctoral degree. 

 Goals

  1. The first goal of the program is to develop academic skills, create a supportive community, raise academic career expectations, and provide research experiences.

  2. The second goal of the program is to increase the number of TWU students who complete a baccalaureate degree, enroll in graduate studies, and eventually receive the doctoral degree.
