About the Program
The SF2UF Bridge to the Baccalaureate Program is a partnership between Santa Fe College and the University of Florida. The SF2UF Bridge Program seeks to increase the number of underrepresented SF students in the biomedical and behavioral sciences who go on to transfer to UF and graduate with bachelor's degrees in biomedical and behavioral science-related disciplines. Examples of science-related programs:
- Animal Sciences
- Anthropology
- Biological Sciences
- Chemistry
- Exercise and Sports Science
- Health Sciences
- Marine Biology
- Pharmacy
- Psychology
- Sociology
- Zoology
This program is funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH)/ National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS).
The goal of the program is to support the education, research experience, and professional development of students from underrepresented groups. A highlight of the program is that selected students will be able to conduct scientific research in the laboratory of a University of Florida professor as undergraduates while enrolled at Santa Fe College.
