"This program was brought to my attention by the Dean of Students when I showed interest in getting my PhD. At that time, I never truly believed that I would have the opportunity to achieve a PhD, but once I was introduced into the program I've understood that someone like me truly has the capabilities to become an expert in my favorite field of study!

“Being in the McNair program here at EKU has opened so many opportunities for me. I have been able to travel more than I ever thought I would in college and feel more prepared for graduate school. I’m glad to have so many opportunities through this program.”
