The Ronald E. McNair Postbaccalaureate Achievement program prepares participants for doctoral studies through involvement in research and other scholarly activities. Participants are from disadvantaged backgrounds and have demonstrated strong academic potential. Georgia Southern's McNair Program works closely with participants as they complete their undergraduate requirements. Since 1999, the program has encouraged Georgia Southern participants to enroll in graduate programs. The goal is to increase the attainment of Ph.D. degrees by students from underrepresented segments of society.
