Insights gained from this work could help shape...
This federal Project Grant award of $179,142 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will investigate whether participation in an early intervention program positively predicts graduate school aspirations and enrollment among upward transfer community college students in computing and technology. The study, conducted by the University of Georgia Research Foundation, will track students who transfer from community colleges to the University of California system and examine factors that shape their decision to pursue graduate school in computing fields. The intervention will be implemented across five UC campuses, and the research will use a mixed-methods approach to empirically evaluate the impact of the program. The findings are expected to provide guidance on how to effectively promote graduate school aspirations and intentions among upward transfer students in computing and other STEM disciplines.
