The Center for the Advancement of Students and Alumni (CASA) is a university hub with the mission of helping to make Ph.D. programs, medical school, and law school accessible to Georgia State students and alumni. Ultimately, the center aims to increase diversity among leaders in academic and professional careers, enabling Georgia State alumni to create a more just and equitable society.

For which CASA Research Program(s) are you applying? (Please check your eligibility.)

CLOSED Math Path Summer Program (Math Path) - (quantitative science majors or pathways including math, actuarial science, computer science, computer information systems, and engineering) - The Math Path Program supports the recruitment, retention, and progression of undergraduates from diverse backgrounds in pathways to quantitative science graduate programs around the nation. This program offers undergraduate students opportunities to engage in team-based research projects, professional skill bootcamps, and career explorations. Balance 4-5 in-person sessions with virtual workshops, panels, assignments, and team meetings over the summer. Requires a commitment of at least 10 hr per week over eight weeks. Program leaders suggest that student participants take no more than one summer class at the same time as this program. No prior research experience is required. First- or second-year undergraduates are preferred.
Humanities Inclusivity Program (HIP) - (Humanities majors at GSU) - HIP is an undergraduate education and training program grounded in research-focused Humanities departments. Funded through a grant by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the goal of the HIP program is to support students from underrepresented groups in preparing for careers as professors in academic institutions, starting with undergraduate research and moving directly into Master's and Ph.D. programs in the humanities. This is a two-year program for students who still have two full years of undergraduate studies remaining before completing the bachelor's degree.
CLOSED Maximizing Access to Research Careers (MARC) - (STEM majors - Biology, Chemistry, Environmental Science, Neuroscience, Psychology, Public Health, Biomedical Science and Enterprise (BIS) at GSU) - MARC is an undergraduate research education and training program grounded in research-focused STEM departments. Funded through a grant from the National Institutes of Health, the goal of the MARC program is to support students from underrepresented groups in preparing for careers in biomedical research, starting with undergraduate research and moving directly into Master's and Ph.D. programs in related fields. MARC does not support pre-med students. This is a two-year program for students who still have two full years of undergraduate studies remaining before completing the bachelor's degree. It pays GSU tuition and a research stipend, requires taking specialized honors courses at GSU, and includes funding to conduct research at Harvard or Vanderbilt during the second summer in the program. Students must be in the Honors College or eligible to join the Honors College on acceptance into MARC.
CLOSED Perimeter Research Assistantships (PRA) - (All Majors/Pathways from Perimeter campuses of GSU) - Perimeter Summer Research Assistantships are offered by the Center for the Advancement of Students and Alumni (CASA) during the summer. The program is only for students at Perimeter College of Georgia State. The goal is to support students from Perimeter campuses in their endeavors toward medical school, law school, or other graduate or professional degrees by providing paid research experiences with Atlanta Campus faculty members, along with professional development workshops, over 10 weeks in the summer. This program is for Perimeter College students who have solid plans to transition to the Atlanta Campus within the next academic year, for completion of the bachelor's degree between 2024 and 2026.
CLOSED Center for Dynamic Multiscale and Multimodal Brain Mapping across the Lifespan (D-MAP) - (All STEM majors at any U.S. undergraduate program) - D-MAP at GSU is a Center for Research Excellence in Science and Technology (CREST) Summer Program funded by the National Science Foundation. The CREST promotes the development of new knowledge, enhancements of the research productivity of individual faculty, and the expanded presence of students historically underrepresented in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics disciplines. D-MAP stands for the Center for Dynamic Multiscale and Multimodal Brain Mapping Across the Lifespan, reflecting the research interests of faculty and students to understand how the brain changes over the lifespan using various neuroimaging, data mining, analysis, machine learning, data visualization, and neuroinformatics technologies.
