Northeast Alliance for Graduate Education and the Professoriate

Medgar Evers College is a partner Institution

in the Northeast Alliance at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst.

UMASS/Amherst is the lead alliance institution for the program, which is supported through a grant from the National Science Foundation with matching funds provided by various units within the University.
