About the Authors

The realities that challenge efforts of HBCUs to increase the number of graduates and students moving on to advanced studies in the STEM disciplines are well documented. Advancing Educational Outcomes in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics at Historically Black Colleges and Universities provides a wealth of the research-based information and strategies that are critical in the development of fresh thinking on how such institutions of higher education can improve on their performances in these academic areas. Such quantitative and qualitative data is vital if there is to be an increase in scientists, engineers and mathematicians produced by Historically Black Colleges and Universities. This book is a must resource for all HBCUs that have developed significant STEM emphases and priorities.
