Currently, there are more than 200 students studying STEM disciplines at Coppin State University, including biology and life sciences, computer science, chemistry, data science, applied molecular biology and biochemistry, as well as polymer and materials sciences. The grant funding from BGE will also provide persistence grants for students in-need, as well as funding to support innovative research projects led by faculty and students, which will enhance Coppin\u2019s commitment to teaching and research excellence.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2901\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2901\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2901\" src=\"https:\/\/nnpa.org\/education\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Pres.-Jenkins-adress-crowd-pic-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"President Jenkins addresses the crowds gathered for the announcement of $3 million in grants to HBCUs in Maryland, including Coppin State University.
