Goal 1: 

To improve the academic success and advance Hispanic, first-generation, and other low-income students  into core health sciences and STEM courses and through to program completion.
  • Objective 1.1

    By 2026, increase the completion rates of students in gateway courses (completion of transfer-level math and English in first year) by 25% from a 2017-2018 baseline of 8.55% to 33.3% in 2026. 

  • Objective 1.2

    Increase fall-to-fall persistence rate of Hispanic and low-income SRJC students by 30% from 2019-2020 baseline of 50.04% to 80.04% in 2026. 

  • Objective 1.3

    Incoming high school students will enter college with an identified education goal to be successful. 

  • Objective 1.4

    Increase the number of engagements with on-campus STEM research opportunities that integrate hands on, research experiences and provide Community College students with opportunity to participate in research studies.

Goal 2: 

To increase the number of Hispanic and other low-income students attaining degrees or transferring in the fields of science, technology, engineering, health sciences, and mathematics.
  • Objective 2.1

    By 2026, increase from a 2017-2018 baseline of 1.65% to 30% of Hispanic and low-income undergraduate students graduating within three years of enrollment with a STEM degree. 

  • Objective 2.2

    By 2026, increase the percentage of Hispanic and low-income students transferring to a four-year institution within three years from a Fall 2018 baseline of 11.97% to 18%. 

  • Objective 2.3

    Expose the number of student engagements with professional development opportunities to open the pathway to a future career in STEM.

Goal 3:

To develop model transfer pathways and course articulation agreements between SRJC and four-year institutions in science, mathematics, health science, and engineering fields.
  • Objective 3.1

    Increase the success rate of Hispanic and low-income students who succeed in a STEM course by 10% from the baseline of 68.0% in 2020-2021 to 78%.

  • Objective 3.2

    Increase STEM articulation agreements from 3 to 5 per year with partner schools or other 4-year schools in STEM discipline pathways.
