Discovery Scholars Program (DSP)
The Discovery Scholars Program (DSP) was founded in 2014 as an initiative of the College of Arts and Sciences at NMSU. In Fall 2023, it is transferring to the Conroy Honors College to build upon its success and begin to recruit students from all colleges to participate. DSP aims to nurture undergraduate discovery through research with faculty mentors and encouraging students to continue their education in graduate or professional school. Any undergraduate who is engaged in scholarship with faculty guidance outside of regular class activities can join the program as a DSP Scholar. While working to complete milestones on their project, DSP Scholars also identify and work toward the completion of different professional development goals, which DSP celebrates along the way.
