Diversity in STEM

The HBCUs really do a stellar job.

This link https://www.aamc.org/data-reports/students-residents/interactive-data/2021-facts-applicants-and-matriculants-data will let you see which universities are having greater number of URMs applying to medical school. This is obviously a very limited subset of STEM, but seeing which universities are having more applicants might be an indication of a more supportive environment. If a smaller school is higher up on the list, that shows it as a heavy-hitter. Or if a school with a low minority population is sending a good number on to medical school, that’s another one that would catch my eye.

Some of the universities on that list that caught my eye as having a higher percentage of black students as a proportion of their total medical school applicants were:

  • Howard
  • Georgia State
  • Xavier of Louisiana (they’re really well known as hitting above their weight)
  • Florida State
  • Florida A&M
  • Harvard
  • Hampton
  • SUNY Albany
  • Florida Atlantic
  • Vanderbilt
  • University of Alabama - Birmingham
  • Prairie View A&M

  • U. Texas - Arlington
  • U. Maryland - Baltimore County
  • Temple
  • Kennesaw State
  • Columbia
  • U. of North Texas
  • St. John’s (NY)

  • East Carolina U. (NC)
  • Georgia Southern
  • Old Dominion (VA)
  • CUNY Brooklyn Colllege
  • Texas Southern
  • Mercer (GA)
  • U. of North Carolina - Greensboro
