“EHR’s Mission is to promote the development of a diverse
and well-prepared workforce of scientists, engineers,
mathematicians, educators, and technicians
and a well informed citizenry who have access to the ideas
and tools of science and engineering.”
The Role of Community Colleges in the Education of Recent Science
and Engineering Graduates
44% of all S & E 1999 and 2000 graduates with a bachelor’s or master’s degree attended a community college (more than 50% of the bachelors and 35% of the masters)
51% of Hispanic bachelor’s and masters graduates and 18% of the Hispanic Ph.D.s attended a community college
The Role of Community Colleges in the Education of Recent Science
and Engineering Graduates
62% of female graduates and 51% of male graduates who had children attended a community college
42% of the graduates who had a GPA between 3.75 and 4.00 attended a community college
