This is an eight-week summer enrichment program for educationally disadvantaged or economically disadvantaged undergraduate students interested in the health care fields and biomedical research. The BCP, which is jointly sponsored by the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School and Rutgers University, offers three different curricula designed to meet the needs of students at all levels of undergraduate training. Each curriculum consists of a combination of science courses, a major laboratory experience (for upper-level students this consists of an individual research project), activities designed to build scientific communication skills, sessions to enhance reading, writing, and study skills, and career-related counseling.

Three college credits are offered through Rutgers University and may be transferred to other colleges. There are no tuition charges for New Jersey students attending the program. Each student who is selected to participate will receive a stipend sufficient to cover the costs of room and board. On-campus housing is available.
