This paper focuses on whether or not there are significant differences between gender and racial groups across measures of academic performance, retention, and degree attainment at a four-year comprehensive university with a liberal arts focus. This was of interest because of an ongoing concern about the overall enrollments in STEM fields at Loyola University Maryland. With the exception of Biology, which is often seen as the pre-medical career path of choice, the university was seeing low enrollments especially in physics, computer science and engineering.

to develop career aspirations (Blackhurst et al., 2009). Sax & Harper(2007) suggest that “the source of gender differences extends back into the pre-college years,when women and men develop different values, confidences, aspirations, and patterns ofbehavior” (Sax & Harper, 2007, 690). In order to understand the gender gap in STEM fields, it isimportant to understand the factors contributing to college major selection that begin to developwell before college enrollment. A large body of research has focused on the pre-college factorsand experiences that influence this gender gap in STEM. The majority of these influences fallwithin three main categories: academic and nonacademic experiences (Goldin et al, 2006; Grantet al, 2000; Whitt

One example, is the concern in Muslim majority countries aboutthe work environment that women will take part in and the restrictive codes for women’s behavior[9], [13]. And although there are no strict rules prohibiting women from working outside, Muslimwomen and their families typically prefer an indoor job environment versus outdoor [11], [15].
