Increasing participation of women in undergraduate programs requires a multi-pronged, systemic approach including:

• Improved recruitment
• Inclusive pedagogy
• Meaningful curriculum
• Academic and social support for students
• High-level institutional support and appropriate policies
• Ongoing assessment of progress

NCWIT Extension Services provides support and resources for achieving change in all of these areas in ways that increase participation of women in undergraduate programs.
