本文概述了一项非常成功的干预措施，该干预措施总体上增加了两个主要本科院校的 STEM（科学、技术、工程和数学）专业，特别是化学专业的数量。这种干预措施、及早向一年级新生介绍研究和补充计划，提高了两所院校的保留率和毕业率。阿姆斯特朗州立大学的结果尤其引人注目。
This paper outlines a very successful intervention that has increased the number of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) majors in general, and chemistry majors in particular, at two primarily undergraduate institutions. The intervention, early introduction to research and supplemental programming for incoming first year students, increased retention and graduation rates at both institutions. The results were particularly spectacular at Armstrong State University.
