## It’s about numbers: How many students, where are they, and how many graduate? 

- It’s about numbers: How many students, where are they, and how many graduate?
- How many minority students are in the pipeline?
- Where do minority students attend college?
- Which schools train the largest numbers of minority Biology and Chemistry majors?
- Which baccalaureate schools train minority students that continue for graduate studies?

## The undergraduate pool: Where and how many?

- The undergraduate ***pool***: Where and how many?
- Balancing ***capacity*** of the undergraduate pipeline with graduate program needs.
- Developing and sustaining ***partnerships***
- 	undergraduate colleges, research universities, medical schools,
- 		and industry
- 	other non-traditional entry points
- 	academic year and summer research opportunities
- 	linking curriculum with research and postgraduate training
