As United States policymakers and national leaders are increasing their attention to producing workers skilled in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), community colleges are being called on to address persistence of minorities in these disciplines. In this important volume, contributors discuss the role of community colleges in facilitating access and success to racial and ethnic minority students in STEM. Chapters explore how community colleges can and do facilitate the STEM pipeline, as well as the experiences of these students in community college, including how psychological factors, developmental coursework, expertiential learning, and motivation affect student success. Community Colleges and STEM ultimately provides recommendations to help increase retention and persistence. This important book is a crucial resource for higher education institutions and community colleges as they work to advance success among racial and ethnic minorities in STEM education.

This book focuses upon approximately 250 nonprofit, two-year colleges with a student body that is entirely female or at least 25 percent black, Hispanic, or Native American. These special-focus colleges include two-year colleges, historically black colleges (HBC's), Hispanic-serving institutions (HIS's) and tribal colleges, with some of these schools being church-affiliated. Many of these schools serve as shining examples of how a genuine commitment to access and achievement for female students of color can enhance these students' academic success.

This report presents data on the plans and expectations, preparation and course-taking patterns, college enrollment rates, and college persistence and completion of minorities in comparison with the majority, white population. The data reported show the following: (1) that while almost all high school seniors expect to complete at least some college, Hispanic seniors are less likely to plan to attend college right after high school; (2) that black and Hispanic graduates are less likely than white peers to make an immediate transition to college with Hispanics more likely to enroll in two-year colleges; (3) that white and Asian/Pacific Islanders are more likely than black and Hispanic counterparts to persist toward a bachelor's degree; (4) that black and American Indian/Alaskan Native graduates are less likely than white and Asian/Pacific Islanders to earn a bachelor's degree in 4 years or less; (5) that while several minority groups major in fields that will help them recoup college costs, black, Hispanic, and Asian/Pacific Islanders are less likely than whites to major in education, with the last-named group more likely than whites to major in computer science and engineering. The report also reviews an alternative approach to assessing these data. (Contains 35 references.) (CH)

The Commission to Improve Minority Education (CIME) was established in 1990 to address problems hindering the education of ethnic minorities at community colleges. This report features the CIME action agenda for the national community college system for improving recruitment, retention and transfer rates of minority students. Part I features a prefatory message from the Commission, while part II includes a foreword from the Commission chair. Part III, "The Challenge that Words Alone Cannot Solve," is divided into five sections: (1) "The Nation's Community Colleges: Shouldering the Challenge," highlighting the role of the community colleges in providing access to education for minorities; (2) "Mandate for a Community College Action Agenda," detailing the foundations of the agenda in terms of the needs for improving minority opportunities; (3) "Making the Commitment: It's in Our Best Interest," describing the benefits of diversity for educational systems, public officials, and the business sector; (4) "In Support of Recommendations Made by Other National Organizations," acknowledging important statements on minority education by other organizations; and (5) "The Time for Community College Action is Now," stressing the importance of immediate action. Part IV presents the action agenda, providing recommendations at the national, state and college levels, and stressing five key elements: commitment, policy, information, leadership, and collaboration. Part V features appendixes providing descriptions of exemplary minority education programs at community colleges, a summary of testimony presented at CIME hearings, a cultural diversity self-assessment instrument for colleges, and a 33-item bibliography. Finally, part VI provides a list of CIME members, while part VII presents acknowledgements. (MAB)

In 1983, the Ford Foundation funded a two-part project, the Urban Community College Transfer Opportunities Project (UCC/TOP), designed to improve the transfer process from the community college to the four-year institution for urban minority students. Through partnership efforts with secondary schools and four-year colleges and universities, the 23 UCC/TOP colleges developed and implemented a wide variety of programs to enhance the transfer success of targeted groups. This monograph contains: (1) an overview of the UCC/TOP project; (2) recommendations based on the experiences of the participating institutions with respect to productive collaboration between two- and four-year colleges, two-year college and high school cooperation, student follow-up and data collection, improving the academic environment, and increasing the responsiveness of student services; (3) descriptions of the projects undertaken at each institution (Bronx Community College, Hostos Community College, and LaGuardia Community College in New York; Community College of Baltimore in Maryland; Community College of Philadelphia in Pennsylvania; Compton Community College, Laney College, four Los Angeles Community College District campuses, Sacramento City College, and San Diego City College in California; Cuyahoga Community College in Ohio; Highland Park Community College in Michigan; Honolulu Community College in Hawaii; the Houston Community College System in Texas; J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College in Virginia; Lawson State Community College in Alabama; Miami-Dade Community College, North Campus, in Florida; Roxbury Community College in Massachusetts; South Mountain Community College in Arizona; and State Community College in Illinois); and (4) an afterword by Alison Bernstein, program officer from the Ford Foundation.
