Historically Black Colleges and Universities Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP) Description The goal of the HBCU Undergraduate program is to increase significantly the numbers of students enrolling in, and successfully completing, quality SMET baccalaureate programs which will prepare them to pursue doctoral degrees in the SMET disciplines. Support will be provided to HBCUs with the expressed purpose of strengthening their SMET education and research infrastructure, including support for faculty, research experiences for undergraduates, and scientific instrumentation. In order to achieve program goals, the current number and graduation rate of well-prepared underrepresented minority SMET baccalaureate degree graduates must be substantially increased at the grantee institutions.
