However,in many engineering disciplines, individuals have more earning potential and career trajectoryoptions with a master’s degree. In this paper, we identify several categories of barriers and lessonslearned to launching an S-STEM focused on graduate students at a large R1 public institution thatmay be useful to other such programs. These include discussions on recruitment of this specializedpopulation of students into graduate school, especially those from other institutions, can bedifficult because i) there are structural and legal barriers to accessing financial information aboutstudents to identify low-income students and ii) smaller institutions may not have the

Few innovations have emerged to meet students attheir current skill and preparation levels when entering their graduate studies while also consideringstudents' individual desired career paths. The U.S.'s current approach to graduate STEM education doesnot emphasize preparing students with professional skills and experience outside the lab. Further,students from differing socioeconomic and underserved backgrounds are often not adequatelysupported.

For instance, Vakkai et al.'s research has shownthat international students' cultural backgrounds and values cannot be ignored, and havingadvisors who are more attuned to these aspects can significantly impact an individual's academicsuccess [6].
