Rutgers: The McNair Program (Welcome)

Welcome Students, Staff & Faculty!

The Rutgers University Ronald E. McNair Post-baccalaureate Achievement Program, has been in operation on the Rutgers University—New Brunswick campus since 1991. The McNair program is one of three TRIO programs on the Rutgers University—New Brunswick campus. The McNair program serves low-income, first generation college students and students from groups historically underrepresented in graduate education. The services provided are designed to prepare rising juniors (and some rising seniors) with demonstrated academic potential, with the research and scholarship skills necessary for entry into doctoral studies. Rutgers McNair Scholars have gone on to attend and receive doctoral degrees from some of the most prestigious institutions in the nation, including Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Princeton, Cornell, University of California—Berkeley, and Stanford.
