The purpose of LSAMP is to increase the quantity and quality of students successfully completing Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) baccalaureate degree programs. They gain near-peer mentoring that pairs juniors and seniors with STEM graduate students, Extracurricular STEM-enrichment activities for participants at CSN and CCC, Paid undergraduate research opportunities for UNLV and NAU juniors and seniors, and STEM industry internships and job-shadowing opportunities for UNLV and NAU juniors and seniors.
