Related Claims¶

• High STEM educational dose is associated with a higher rate of earning a STEM PhD than low dose across three talent-search cohorts combined — related
• High versus low STEM educational dose shows no statistically significant difference in STEM tenure, patents, or STEM occupation for the combined cohorts — related
• High STEM educational dose is associated with a higher rate of attaining at least one STEM accomplishment (PhD, publication, tenure, patent, or occupation)
