People of Color in Community College Stem Majors and Access in Closing the Acheivement Gap

Abstract

Closing the Achievement Gap has been an increasingly important topic as it relates to gender and unrepresented minorities. Underrepresented minorities and women have had fewer advantages than their white counterparts and men, respectively. This paper is to evaluate the steps that have led to unmet access to educational achievement by genders and underrepresented groups and community colleges. A discussion of the state of achievement will be addressed followed by STEM access and will close with solutions.
