Exploring STEM Students' Journeys to College

Description:

This study analyzed online conversation data about science undergraduate students’ college-going experiences to gain a deeper understanding of their journeys to higher ed – their motivations, obstacles, and opportunities. This research highlights first-person perspectives from more than 5,000 science students over three years to help campuses meet them where they are and provide focused support to guide them on pathways to success – all while informing strategies to develop the STEM pipeline.
