Abstract

As researchers, practitioners, faculty, and administrators consider strategies to reduce attrition of science, math, and engineering students, one program, cooperative education and its impact on student retention, has been relatively unexplored. This research explored the influence of cooperative education on the retention of first-year science, math, and engineering.
