Resumen

Increasing the number of women and members of minority racial/ethnic groups in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM)-related fields in higher education, and in the STEM workforce, is a compelling national interest in the US. Although college enrollment rates among undergraduates, including women and racially diverse students, have increased significantly over the last 30 years – from 11 million in 1976 to over 18 million in 2006 – STEM degree completion rates are marked by large, persistent gender and racialised disparities.
