| discusses findings from a five-year study that explores the extent, nature, and contributory causes of field-switching both from and among "STEM" majors, and what enables persistence to graduation. The book reflects on what has and has not changed since publication of (Elaine Seymour & Nancy M. Hewitt, Westview Press, 1997). With the editors' guidance, the authors of each chapter collaborate to address key questions, drawing on findings from each related study source: national and institutional data, interviews with faculty and students, structured observations and student assessments of teaching methods in STEM gateway courses. Pitched to a wide audience, engaging in style, and richly illustrated in the interviewees' own words, this book affords the most comprehensive explanatory account to date of persistence, relocation and loss in undergraduate sciences. This volume is based upon work supported by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Award No. 2012-6-05 and the National Science Foundation Award No. DUE 1224637.
