"The U.S. Department of Education has forecasted that STEM-related occupations will grow by as much as 60% by 2020. While the field has long been underrepresented by women and individuals of diverse races and ethnicities, we believe now is an excellent time to help change that." - Onlinecolleges.net has shared this link to a guide for STEM opportunities for women and minorities. This guide highlights academic support for women and minorities, national societies, as well as the economic outlook for these fields. We hope it proves helpful.
