University Center for Advancing & Nurturing Postgraduate Quality-UCAN

UCAN

The Inter American University of Puerto Rico, San German Campus, was awarded $2,803,452 to support the expansion of postbacc opportunities for Hispanic and low-income students. It was awarded by the U.S. Department of Education’s Title V Promoting Post-Baccalaureate Opportunities for Hispanic Americans (PPOHA) and it will run from October 2023 to September 2026.

The project establishes the University Center for Advancing and Nurturing Postbacc Quality (UCAN) that will offer students and professors services tailored to their academic, professional development and technical needs.

Our UCAN program has three goals that are focused on enhancing the student experience and their academic success:

      • Increase postbaccalaureate enrollment and degree attainment through the development of career-oriented programs, direct financial assistance, and graduate school readiness support.
      • Increase the use of evidence-based instructional strategies that are inclusive, sustainable, transformative, and career-oriented.
      • Increase postbacc educational offerings through distance learning.

To reach these goals, our graduate students will have access to services and activities such as:

      • Assistantships and internships on campus and with industry partners for graduate students.
      • Specialized and one-to-one coaching for thesis and dissertation preparation from our academic support coordinator.
      • Self-paced and in-person labs and workshops to improve academic writing, research, data literacy, and advanced statistics skills.
      • Self-paced and in-person workshops for career paths and growth, life as a graduate student, soft skills, and networking.
      • Latest technologies to explore their creativity, problem-solving, project-based learning, and teamwork skills.
      • Advanced course experiences in all the different modalities (in-person, online asynchronous and synchronous, hybrid).

You can find us in Farinacci (EEGI) #213 and #214.
