Did you know that there are more women than men at many liberal arts colleges but that nationally women are underrepresented in scientific and mathematical studies and in research in these fields?

To address this shortage, the College of Arts and Science at NYU has instituted a Women in Science (WINS) program that seeks to cultivate the talents of women undergraduates who are interested in careers that focus on research in science and math. A core group of undergraduate women, WINS Scholars, are selected from each entering class based on high academic achievement and a demonstrated interest in research and a career in science.  WINS aims to nurture the talents of WINS Scholars through a highly individualized program of study, research, and mentoring. Our goal is to provide the foundation for lifelong success in professional and academic careers that involve research in anthropology, biochemistry, biology, chemistry, computer science, mathematics, neural science, physics, or psychology.
