About PREM

Mission

The mission of the Partnership for Research and Education in Materials (PREM) program is to identify students interested in pursuing research as a career and provide high-quality research opportunities and extensive mentorship for these students. All activities are in close partnership with the Center for Emergent Materials at The Ohio State University (OSU).

PREM will provide participants with cutting-edge research opportunities in materials science and prepare them to be competitive for entering graduate programs and careers in industry.

Pipeline

The partnership between California State University, °µÍøÊÓƵ and The Ohio State University is outlined below.

PREM Pipeline from CSU °µÍøÊÓƵ to The Ohio State University

Pipeline for material science students supported through the PREM project. LA basin high school and community college students flow into the °µÍøÊÓƵundergraduate population. The °µÍøÊÓƵundergraduate population flows into the OSU Ph.D. program through the CEM REU or through the Bridge program. Additionally, other undergraduate students flow into the °µÍøÊÓƵBridge or °µÍøÊÓƵMasters programs. Finally, students in the °µÍøÊÓƵBridge or °µÍøÊÓƵMasters programs flow into the OSU Ph.D. program or into other Ph.D. programs.
