Native American Participation among Bachelors in Physical Sciences and Engineering: Results from 2003-13 Data of the National Center for Education Statistics. Focus On
Merner, Laura; Tyler, John
AIP Statistical Research Center
Using the National Center of Education Statistics' Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS), this report analyzes data on Native American recipients of bachelor's degrees among 16 physical science and engineering fields. Overall, Native Americans are earning physical science and engineering bachelor's degrees at lower rates than the total population. For every 1,000 degrees earned by Native Americans 41, were earned in engineering and 12 were earned in the physical sciences, compared to 54 and 15 by the total population, respectively. If trends continue at their current rates, underrepresentation in these fields will only increase for Native Americans.
