New Emerge-Micro Transfer Program

Dear Students and Colleagues,

Don't miss the Emerge-Micro talk in room 8-100 on Monday, February 10 at noon.

We have speakers from GlobalFoundries and Micron Industries visiting along with RIT faculty members from the Microelectronic Engineering Department.

The Emerge-Micro Program allows you to transfer directly to RIT’s Microelectronic Engineering Bachelor of Science degree program and embark on a rewarding career in the thriving semiconductor industry. Students enrolled at MCC/RIT will receive a financial stipend of $5,000 per semester at MCC, and $10,000 per semester at RIT. These stipends are in addition to any financial aid, award, scholarships, or external support that students may have already obtained. Furthermore, participants may be granted an additional $5,000 for summer research at RIT. The program focuses on experiential learning in hands-on lab environments and offers research opportunities in nanotechnology and chip manufacturing. Participants will gain real-world experience through one-year integrated paid co-op placements in industry, which often result in job offers before graduation. Students will benefit from extensive support services, including tutoring, one-on-one mentorship, professional development, conferences, and industry site visits.
