Abstract
Throughout this book, we seek to answer a number of related questions: What are the rates of loss from STEM majors, which students leave, why, when, and how do they leave, and with what consequences, where do they go, and what enables those who stay to persist? In answering these questions, we also discuss what has, and has not, changed since the original study, both in the extent of persistence, loss, and relocation from undergraduate STEM majors, and in what contributes to these patterns. We also comment on what we might have previously overlooked, and what new issues have emerged in the socio-economic context in which higher education now operates. In this final chapter, we summarize our answers to these questions and discuss their implications.
