The Hispanic-serving community colleges STEM Pipelines (HSCC-STEM) study is a research project that explores the transitions to and through Hispanic-serving two-year institutions for underrepresented minoritized STEM students. This brief uncovers the most viable HSCC STEM pathways for Latinxs and other underrepresented minoritized students as well as which fields they are more likely to persist in, and the promising practices at HSCCs that provide transfer pathways leading to further education-on ramps to STEM baccalaureates. The information in this brief provides a profile outlining STEM degrees conferred by race and gender in three types of institutions: HSCCs, which are institutions with 25% or more Latinx student enrollment; emerging HSCCs, which are institutions with 15% to 24% Latinx student enrollment; and non-HSCCs, which are institutions that have a Latinx enrollment rate of less than 15%.
