Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi Looking to Retain More Hispanics in STEM Fields

Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi wants Hispanic undergraduate students enrolled in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) degree areas at their school, but keeping them enrolled and interested in those fields has proven to be a huge challenge. A $4.3 million federal grant from the U.S. Department of Education is geared toward helping students stay enrolled and interested in STEM fields. The grant, which is planned to span the next five years, will provide the university with $868,994 annually to expand existing services, such as peer-led tutoring and mentoring. A&M-Corpus Christi is considered among the country's Hispanic- serving institutions, a designation given when a quarter or more of a school's undergraduates are Hispanic.
