TABLE 4.
Logistic regressions on the likelihood of graduating in STEM (n = 2727; * p < 0.01 and ** p < 0.001). 1. Experimental Beta coefficients are presented as odds ratios so that values less than one are a reduction in likelihood of graduation and values over one are an increase in likelihood of gradation. The analyses included controls for institution attended, but the Exp (β) is not presented based on the data usage agreement with the universities. Reference group for race/ethnicity is White and the reference group for gender is male. 1Interaction effect for student of color (Black, Native American, Latino/a/x, or multiracial).
