The South East Alliance for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (SEAGEP) unites a group of institutions that have considerable experience in higher education diversity programs, a history of collaboration, and together have enormous capacity with respect to both opportunities for graduate studies as well as large numbers of undergraduate students in technical fields.

The SEAGEP Program includes the University of Florida (UFL), Clemson University (CU), University of South Carolina (USC), Florida-Georgia Louis B. Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (FGLSAMP), South Carolina Louis B. Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (SCAMP), and University of the Virgin Islands.
