Minority representation in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education remains low. This study proposes a national strategy to double minority persistence in STEM fields within ten years.

Area of Science:

  • STEM Education
  • Higher Education
  • Minority Representation

Background:

  • Despite decades of effort, the United States faces persistent underrepresentation of minority groups in postsecondary Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields.
  • Existing gains have been modest, failing to substantially alter the demographic landscape in STEM education.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a national strategy aimed at significantly improving minority participation in STEM.
  • To outline a method for doubling the persistence rates of underrepresented minorities in STEM pathways over the next decade.

Main Methods:

  • This study outlines a proposed national effort, focusing on strategies to enhance minority persistence.
  • Specific methodologies for implementation and measurement are detailed within the proposed framework.

Main Results:

  • The proposed strategy is projected to double the persistence of underrepresented minorities in STEM fields.
  • This initiative aims to foster a more inclusive and diverse STEM workforce for the future.

Conclusions:

  • A concerted national effort is required to address the underrepresentation of minorities in STEM.
  • The proposed strategy offers a viable pathway to achieve substantial improvements in minority persistence within a decade.
