Utah among lowest in nation when graduating women in nontraditional fields: Part 1

Last month, as students across the state graduated from college, higher education institutions took notice of the fields women have earned a Bachelor's degree in as well as those who haven't.

Utah has one of the lowest college graduation rates for women in degrees of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) as well as business.

Individual institutions have been tracking this data as well as researchers, like Utah Valley University's Dr. Susan Madsen, with the goal of using the data to come up with solutions to get women into these fields. Cache Valley Daily
