Unfortunately, over the past 10 years there has only been a slight increase in the number of minority students pursuing graduate degrees in sciences and engineering. Of all masters degrees awarded between 1989 and 1997, African Americans increased from 5.2 to7.4%; Hispanic students from 3.9% to 6.2%; and American Indian students from 0.4 to 0.6%.

The call has been sounded once again for higher education to make a difference.
