9 Historically Black Colleges and Universities-Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP) New Program Guidelines Broadens participation in the Nation’s STEM workforce by enhancing the quality of undergraduate STEM education at HBCUs.
Impact of HBCU-UP HBCU-UP has supported the development of STEM education and research at 80 HBCUs (78%) since 2001, including funding for programs at 82% of the Nation’s 4 year HBCUs and 46% of the Nation’s 2 year HBCUs. More than 16,000 STEM students have graduated from HBCU-UP supported institutions since 1998.
U.S. Students Studying Abroad Increasingly, experiences abroad are coming to be seen as a critical component of education for U.S. students in the globalizing economy. During the academic year, 223,534 U.S. students studied abroad in foreign institutions of higher education, representing an increase of 32,213 students (16.8%) over the number who had gone abroad in the academic year. U.S. students were most likely to study in European nations: the United Kingdom (32,109), Italy (26,078), Spain (21,881) and France (15,602). China ranked 7th as the destination for 8,830 students, almost twice as many as the 4,737 who studied in China in Female students showed a greater propensity to study abroad, accounting for 65.5% of U.S. students studying abroad in In , white students accounted for 83.0% of U.S. students studying abroad with African American students constituting 3.5%, Hispanics 5.4%, Asian Americans 6.3% and American Indians 0.6%.
