Celebrating Diversity in Higher Education
In the STEAM community, we believe that diversity and inclusion are key pillars of a thriving society. That’s why we’re proud to recognize colleges and universities across the country for their commitment to fostering diverse and inclusive environments. Our Top STEM-Friendly Programs list showcases institutions that have demonstrated a strong dedication to promoting diversity in their student body, faculty, and staff, as well as creating a welcoming and supportive campus culture for all.
