CSCC-MTSU Bridge Program

The CSCC-MTSU Bridge Program is a partnership between Columbia State Community College and Middle Tennessee State University designed to prepare students for advanced education and careers in science and medicine.

Students build research skills while at CSCC, have opportunities to apply for and participate in an intensive summer research experience at MTSU, and can continue developing as undergraduate researchers after transferring. Transfer to MTSU is not required to participate in this program.

Who is eligible? Current CSCC students in Biology, Chemistry, or Psychology transfer degree programs with no more than 18 months remaining before completing transfer degree requirements. Additionally, good academic standing is required (3.0+ GPA preferred)
