THE PROGRAM FOR RESEARCH INITIATIVES IN SCIENCE AND MATH (PRISM) groups various initiatives aimed to support science and math students at John Jay College. The goal of PRISM is to provide support in students’ development toward becoming professional scientists. The STEM Scholars Program (SSP) offers academic advisement, tutoring, and professional and personal development activities to eligible students in science and math majors. The PRISM Undergraduate Research Program (URP) provides students with the opportunity to engage in long-term, close mentoring relationships with faculty who provide training, personal and career advisement, and professional encouragement. In addition, we support the CUNY Justice Academy (CJA), a series of articulation agreements with partner CUNY Community Colleges, by providing academic advisement and outreach activities to CJA students transitioning to our forensic science major.
Each program has different eligibility requirements, but all students of any year majoring in forensic science, cell & molecular biology, toxicology, applied math, and computer science should explore our different programs by visiting our website, where they can make appointments with a member of our staff to discuss their plans and how each program could benefit them.
