Graduate Bridge Program

All students who will start their graduate education during Fall 2024 are eligible. Students who are from historically underrepresented racial/ethnic communities are particularly encouraged to apply. By fostering an instant peer network, we help support our BRIDGE cohort while they are transitioning to Purdue University Graduate School. This eight-week on-campus program offers a series of workshops to help students develop skills and knowledge for their academic and research success. The series of workshops will include professional and research development activities. The overall Bridge Program experience will consist of academic research, career development, professional writing and presentation, and social component to help prepare graduate students for the upcoming academic year.
