Mathematical Sciences Connections to Produce PhDsBenedict College and the University of FloridaThe Mathematical Sciences Connections to Produce PhDs program promotes discovery, excitement and skills development in the mathematical sciences. It includes the formation of Mathematical Science Success Units (MSSUs) which consists of two scholars, a mentor, a graduate student and an advisor. It also includes an academic year project for each MSSU with participation in a web accessible international math competition, conference attendance and presentation of project work; an Advanced Mathematics Discover Series by way of video-teleconferencing and a weekend mini-course; and Summer Research Experiences to expand interest in the mathematical and related sciences, and introduce undergraduates to graduate level concepts. The Mathematical Sciences Connections to Produce PhDs program facilitates success through the critical transition point from undergraduate to graduate studies. The program also provides exposure to various fields of mathematical interest and application, providing alternatives that increase the number of undergraduates that pursue a related science, engineering or interdisciplinary field, rather than losing students to non-STEM pursuits. The program design takes advantage of productive practices at both institutions, lessons learned from previous undergraduate-to-graduate transition point projects, and innovative approaches.

数学科学的联系，生产Phdsbenedict学院和佛罗里达大学的数学科学联系，以促进数学科学中的发现，兴奋和技能发展。 它包括数学科学成功单元（MSSU）的形成，该单元由两位学者，一名导师，研究生和顾问组成。 它还包括每个MSSU的学年项目，并参加了一项可访问的网络访问的国际数学竞赛，会议出席和项目工作的介绍；高级数学的Discover系列通过视频评估和周末迷你课程；以及夏季研究经验，以扩大对数学和相关科学的兴趣，并将本科生介绍给研究生级的概念。生产博士学位计划的数学科学联系通过从本科到研究生研究的关键过渡点有助于成功。 该计划还提供了数学兴趣和应用各个领域的风险，提供了增加追求相关科学，工程或跨学科领域的本科生数量的替代方案，而不是让学生失去学生的追求。 该计划设计利用了两个机构的生产实践，从以前的本科生到过渡点项目中学到的经验教训以及创新的方法。
