AB  -          Women and ALANA students’ retention and progress towards          STEM degrees at a predominantly liberal arts institutionIn the summer 2008, the Office of Institutional Research working in collaboration with facultyand administrators at a private comprehensive institution conducted a study evaluating Womenand ALANA students’ retention and progress towards Science, Technology, Engineering, andMathematics (STEM) degrees. At this institution the choice of majors included; Biology,Chemistry, Physics, Mathematical Sciences, Computer Science, and Engineering. The Classesof 2004 to 2008 were evaluated in terms of their initial educational goals compared to theiractual retention, progression, and eventual attainment of bachelor degrees. SAT scores and GPAsin high school and college were part of the dataset. This report focuses on whether there aresignificant differences between gender and racial groups across measures of academicperformance, retention, and degree attainment. Two of the most interesting findings are thatthere was no significant difference between men and women in percent who persist to a degreeand that about 6% of the total number of students with no initial intention to major in a STEMfield do end up with a STEM degree. This relatively small percentage adds a significant totalnumber of students to these STEM programs at a predominantly liberal arts institution and mightrepresent an important population from which to recruit new STEM majors.
