Improved Retention of Women and Minorities at Texas A&M

The graph above depicts first-year retention in engineering during the academic years 1994-95 and 1998-99. First-year retention is measured as the percentage of students who started their first-year curriculum and returned for the following year in engineering. The graph shows substantial increases in retention from 1994 to 1998 for the following groups: white females, African-American females, and Hispanic females. It also shows substantial decreases in retention for the following groups: African-American males and Hispanic males. Based on this first-year retention data, it is currently concluded that inclusive learning communities are having a positive impact on the retention of women in engineering.
