| Summary: | The purpose of this study is to examine a limited number of variables that have been documented in the literature as influential factors for women science majors and to determine which significantly influence undergraduate expectations to obtain science-related occupations. The results of this study indicate that several factors are worthy of attention, including some factors contradictory to those advocated in current literature. The findings contribute important information to the existing literature on factors predicting science occupation choice, especially in reference to undergraduate students in their first required science courses. The study also raises interest in the distinct possibility that there are significant changes that take place between post secondary and collegiate experiences.
