Abstract
Utah Women and Education Project researchers conducted in-depth research in 2010 to discover why more young women around the state are not attending and graduating from college. A critical element of our research was to understand the aspirations of young women in Utah. Across the nation females now have higher aspirations for college graduation than males; from our findings, however, we believe this is not the case in Utah.
