The authors discuss their study of the Peer Research Consultant (PRC) program at California State University, San Bernardino. During the 2016-2017 academic year, 13 courses, with 853 students enrolled, participated in the PRC program. Program participants completed preand post-measures assessing demographic information, perceptions of skill level, and perceived gains following program participation. Students who participated in the PRC program showed an increase in overall course grades (M = 3.11) compared to those who did not (M = 2.82; p < 0.05). Similar findings were observed among underrepresented minority (URM) students who participated (M = 3.05) and those who did not (M = 2.73, p < 0.05). Program participants reported high satisfaction with the program and improved confidence in skills.
