Overview:
|
The
Transfer Student Fellows Program (TSFP) is an intensive
program for transfer students interested in careers in the
biological sciences. TSFP, sponsored by the UC Davis Division
of Biological Sciences through grant support from the Howard
Hughes Medical Institute and the National Institute of Health
- Initiative for Minority Student Development, enriches
your transfer year at UC Davis by providing you with immediate
access to the excitement and challenge of the research university.
The goals of the program are to prepare you for course work
at UC Davis, to develop a sense of community among participants,
and to facilitate your participation in on-campus undergraduate
research. As a TSFP participant, you will be enrolled in
a UC Davis course during the summer session prior to your
first quarter on campus. You are also enrolled in a specially
designed TSFP seminar course which begins during the summer
and continues throughout
the transfer year. The TSFP seminar is a place for community-building
among participants, helping you become involved in important
aspects of campus life including direct participation in
undergraduate research during your transfer year.

Eligibility:
|
Completion
of one year each of calculus and general chemistry with a
GPA of at least 2.8
Admission to UC Davis for the Fall Quarter.
We strongly recommend that students complete one year each
of biology and organic chemistry prior to transfer.
Preference is given to students who are transferring to one
of the majors sponsored by the Division of Biological Sciences
(Biochemistry and Molecular Biology; Biological Sciences;
Cell Biology; Evolution and Ecology; Exercise Biology; Genetics;
Microbiology; Neurobiology, Physiology and Behavior; Plant
Biology) but students who otherwise qualify and are transferring
to any major with a biological science emphasis are welcome
to apply.

Application: |
In late
January and early February, applications for TSFP will be
mailed to all community college students who have a signed
Transfer Admission Agreement (TAA) in a biological science
major at UC Davis. Applications are also available from the
Transfer Office at your community college or by contacting
the TSFP Office at UC Davis. The application includes a personal
statement by the applicant and two letters of evaluation from
community college faculty who know you and your academic record
well. TSFP applications and letters of evaluation are due
by April 30th. The TSFP admissions committee will review applications
during May and will notify applicants of committee decisions
in early June. Applicants should note that the TSFP application
is separate from your application to transfer to UC Davis
and that students who are not admitted to UC Davis cannot
participate in TSFP. |
