Overview

Quantitative Research in the Life and Social Sciences Program (QRLSSP) is embedded in ASU’s Simon A. Levin Mathematical, Computational, and Modeling Sciences Center to connect the center’s education-through-research mission directly to trans-disciplinary undergraduate and graduate programs in the mathematical sciences.

Quantitative Research in the Life and Social Sciences Program (QRLSSP)
Program Description

QRLSSP seeks to recruit students to careers in the mathematical sciences by providing an intensive research experience of student-driven research where participants actively contribute to setting the research agenda. QRLSSP host a summer research program, encouraging and facilitating access and completion of a graduate studies degree in mathematics and science. A collaborative learning environment and community among students and faculty aids students in their research and provides a source of support in graduate school and beyond


QRLSSP gives students an insight into what to expect in the pursuit of a Ph.D. and aims to strengthen and diversify the pool of U.S. students pursuing graduate degrees in math and sciences. Alumni progress is monitored for at least six years after participation to provide support, community, and measure program success.

Outcome

From 1996 through 2016, QRLSSP has recruited and enrolled 533 students, 70% of them are underrepresented minorities, and approximately half of them identified as Latino.


Through February 2017, 71% of QRLSSP students enrolled in graduate or professional school programs.


108 QRLSSP students have completed their Ph.D. and  67  of those students were Hispanic/Latino.
