ULSAMP
Founded in 1961, Onondaga Community College has more than 11,000 students and is the second-largest undergraduate college in Central New York. Onondaga is a comprehensive two-year college operating under the State University of New York (SUNY) and is locally sponsored by Onondaga County. Onondaga offers nearly 50 programs of study, bachelor and master's degrees available on campus, and more than 70 transfer agreements with four-year colleges and universities.
Onondaga Community College is dedicated to increasing the number of college graduates from ethnic groups traditionally underrepresented in technical-related fields as well as individuals from economically disadvantaged families who are interested in pursuing careers in science, technology, engineering and math.
Undergraduate students, interested in gaining a deeper understanding in an engineering-related field, have the opportunity to conduct and present research over a ten-week duration under the auspices of a Cornell Engineering faculty research mentor. Through this one-on-one partnership, participants will gain theoretical knowledge and practical training in academic research and scientific experimentation. CU LSAMP-R was developed to aid in the retention of traditionally underrepresented minority groups in the sciences, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).
