• The purpose of the NSBE Retention Program is to improve the four year and five year graduation rates of Blacks in the field of engineering. This initiative allows NSBE to counteract the most devastating statistics surrounding Blacks in higher education, more specifically in engineering: on average, nearly sixty percent of Black freshman in engineering do not successfully complete their freshman year.
