Project Description
Black Male Initiative (BMI) program at CUNY – New York City College of Technology is one of nine U.S. Model Replication Institutions (MRI). City Tech’s BMI is the only STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) focused initiative among the CUNY schools. The BMI project is a CUNY-wide program, whose goals are to increase enrollment and success of underrepresented students, particularly African-American male students. BMI is funded by the New York City Council.
City Tech has targeted its BMI efforts on increasing enrollment and success in STEM fields for underrepresented students, such as African-American men, other students of color and women.
