Abstract
Analyzing survey data from a national sample of 672 Black men, this study investigated the factors they consider when choosing a graduate school. Academic reputation, aid awarded, and proximity to home were considered most frequently and STEM major was correlated with 5 of the factors (p≪0.05). Results offer ideas about broadening participation among Black men.
