The Ronald E. McNair Post-Baccalaureate Achievement (McNair) and Research Opportunity (ROP) programs seek to produce scholars and researchers who will more accurately reflect the growing diversity in intellectual perspectives, life experiences, and cultures in academe. While all students in both programs must be committed to pursuing graduate studies, the McNair Program’s focus is on students committed to completing doctoral studies and ROP’s focus is on students committed to completing a masters degree. Both programs provide students with the skills and tools necessary to complete undergraduate research with a UNM faculty mentor and gain acceptance into a graduate program.
