Retention data for STEM Academy, matched comparison group, and FTIC STEM cohort^a

^aSTEM FTIC (w/o SA) = all entering STEM majors without the 109 SA students. BMS = biomedical science majors; BIO = Department of Biology majors; other STEM majors = chemistry, physics, math, and geosciences majors. The last row: total STEM FTIC is equal to the 109 SA cohort + 2015 total STEM FTIC (w/o SA) cohort. Total heads lost from STEM = heads lost to non-STEM major changes + heads lost from the university. STEM retention = total heads lost from STEM/total heads entering in 2015.
