Gender breakdown of total Geoscience enrollment at the University of Arkansas. The last several years show a strong growth curve leading to the current composition of 33% female students. This trend is supported by an active student chapter of the Association of Women in Geosciences. |
We have more work to do in recruiting and retaining underrepresented (UR) students to Geoscience. But progress has been steady over the last decade to achieve 16.5% UR students in our department. While the numbers shown here represent all UR groups except gender, an important factor is our close association with the National Association of Black Geoscientists.
