Trends in Texas Hispanic student enrollment and performance in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)

November 2017

Demand for workers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) is growing rapidly, but Hispanic Texans remain underrepresented in high-paying STEM fields and among students earning postsecondary STEM degrees. As part of the work of the Texas Hispanic STEM Research Alliance, REL Southwest examined Texas education data to understand these patterns in greater depth. This infographic highlights key findings from two related reports:

• Associations Between Predictive Indicators and Postsecondary Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math Success Among Hispanic Students in Texas
• Advanced Course Offerings and Completion in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math in Texas Public High Schools
