The need for more STEM graduates in the workforce has been an ongoing conversationfor decades; however, very little attention is spent on the differing levels of degreeattainment. This study focuses on variables that predict (positively or negatively) thedegree aspirations of STEM majors six years after they begin their post-secondaryeducation at a community college. Data provided by the Beginning Post-Secondary(04/09) longitudinal study was utilized for this study with an approximate sample size of990 students. Within the Social Cognitive Career Theory framework, 28 variables wereidentified and tested through descriptive analyses, crosstabulations, and a linearregression analysis. The descriptive analysis showed women and URM's to beunderrepresented in this sample. However, the regression analysis showed that beingfemale or an URM was a significant predictor of higher degree aspirations. Otherfindings include age to be a negative predictor of degree aspirations along with theimportance of living close to relatives. Several implications for practice result from thisstudy's findings including the need for intentional recruitment of women and URM's intoSTEM majors.
