Using Data Envelopment Analysis to Identify STEM Best Practices at High Performing Hispanic Serving Institutions

Sponsored by the National Science Foundation's Building Capacity in STEM Education Research (BCSER) Program (Award: 2125636), this data collection is the result of a two-year study using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) with data from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) at the National Center for Education Statistics, to effectively measure the efficiency of Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs) graduating Hispanics with STEM degrees. The guiding research question was: On what input measures do we select efficient HSIs to serve other HSI institutions as possible benchmarks for program improvement in graduating Hispanics with STEM degrees?
