Abstract/Description

Undergraduate engineering programs often face low persistence and retention.

  • Females and ethnic minorities are underrepresented and show lower persistence
  • Certain minorities may be less likely to enroll in online programs
  • Lower persistence and retention in online students across disciplines

Undergraduate research may increase persistence and retention.

  • Online students likely underrepresented due to access limitations
