Nevertheless, each CCA class actually contains STEM majors in a certain ratio; much likein the traditional one because there is no specific administrative restriction on STEM majors’enrollment into CCA sections. Consequently, students in the program were drawn from the samepool and with the same conditions as those who were in the traditional class.
