In 2006-07, less than two percent of bachelor’s degrees earned by Latinos were in math and statistics or physical sciences. Science Educational Enhancement Services (SEES) is a discipline-based equity and retention program in science and math for historically underrepresented students housed in the College of Science at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona. Over 65 percent of students served by SEES are Latino. Students who start as freshmen in SEES have a retention rate 15 percent higher than under-represented students not in SEES, and a similarly improved graduation rate. Since 1992, SEES has graduated more than 500 students who have gone on to earn 32 MD’s, 7 DDS’s, 20 Ph.D.’s, 61 MS’s, as well as credentialed K-12 and community college teachers.
