What's Next? Soon-to-Be STEM Graduates on Their Post-Graduate Plans
Park, Julie J.; Kim, Young K.; Lue, Kristyn; Parikh, Roshan M.
Research in Higher Education, v63 n8 p1343-1367 Dec 2022
We examined key influences on STEM college seniors' postgraduate plans. Using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Freshmen we utilized multilevel modeling to identify variables associated with planning to pursue a STEM-related job or STEM graduate study after graduation. Key findings emphasize the importance of volunteering and extracurricular activities for women, as well as lower-income and underrepresented racially minoritized students, as well as the relevance of interaction with faculty. Findings also suggest that a certain amount of "opportunity hoarding" exists among majority-status students. We conclude with implications for creating more welcoming, inclusive, and diverse STEM environments.
