LSAMP Students Earn More Graduate Degrees

Based on the 2002 LSAMP Graduate Survey, roughly 45 percent of participants had completed graduate degrees, compared to 18 percent and 20 percent of two national comparison groups comprised of underrepresented minorities and whites and Asians, respectively.

The below figure compares LSAMP participants, national underrepresented minorities (non-participants) and national Asians and Whites in terms of three important outcomes: (1) took graduate coursework, (2) pursued graduated degrees and (3) completed graduate degrees. As the table suggests, LSAMP students outperformed their two national comparison groups on all three outcomes, overall and for STEM fields.
