Abstract
Retaining mathematics majors is a pressing concern in many departments. We examined the pass rates of students across our mathematics major and then analyzed student persistence between math courses along with the underlying data collection required to make these analyses. We found that mathematics majors leaving the major after successfully completing a mathematics course is a huge issue and particularly prevalent among female and Hispanic students. Finally, we consider why this lack of persistence might exist and possible avenues to assist students in continuing a mathematics major.
