STEM Coursetaking Among High School Graduates

A new report, "STEM Coursetaking Among High School Graduates, 1990-2005," uses National Assessment for Educational Progress (NAEP) High School Transcript Study data to examine student coursetaking patterns in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) courses.

The NAEP High School Transcript Study examined the transcripts from samples of graduating seniors to determine STEM coursetaking.

The report compares data from the 2005 High School Transcript Study against data from the 1990 and 2000 studies to determine how well prepared our nation's students are within the STEM fields. Read the report to find out more about:

* overall change in STEM coursetaking patterns,

* the gender and race/ethnicity differences within STEM course enrollment, and

* how STEM coursetaking differs according to school location.
