Historically Black Colleges and Universities-Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP) New Program Guidelines Broadens participation in the Nation’s STEM workforce by enhancing the quality of undergraduate STEM education at HBCUs. 9

Impact of HBCU-UP has supported the development of STEM education and research at 80 HBCUs (78%) since 2001, including funding for programs at 82% of the Nation’s 4 year HBCUs and 46% of the Nation’s 2 year HBCUs. More than 16, 000 STEM students have graduated from HBCU-UP supported institutions since 1998.

U. S. Students Studying Abroad Increasingly, experiences abroad are coming to be seen as a critical component of education for U. S. students in the globalizing economy. During the 2005 -06 academic year, 223, 534 U. S. students studied abroad in foreign institutions of higher education, representing an increase of 32, 213 students (16. 8%) over the number who had gone abroad in the 2003 -04 academic year. U. S. students were most likely to study in European nations: the United Kingdom (32, 109), Italy (26, 078), Spain (21, 881) and France (15, 602). China ranked 7 th as the destination for 8, 830 students, almost twice as many as the 4, 737 who studied in China in 2003 -04. Female students showed a greater propensity to study abroad, accounting for 65. 5% of U. S. students studying abroad in 2005 -06. In 2005 -06, white students accounted for 83. 0% of U. S. students studying abroad with African American students constituting 3. 5%, Hispanics 5. 4%, Asian Americans 6. 3% and American Indians 0. 6%. Source: Nicole M. Di Fabio, Carolyn Brandi, Lisa M.
