| Abstract | With the need to increase minority representation in the polar sciences, a team of researchers from a southwestern United States public university developed an innovative field research experience entitled the International Polar Year-Research and Educational Opportunities in Antarctica for Minorities (IPY-ROAM). Supported by a National Science Foundation grant, 28 participants completed a semester-long online course and performed field research in Antarctica within the areas of aquatic ecology, terrestrial biology, physical science, ecotourism, and education. This article reports outcomes that individuals experienced through participation in IPY-ROAM as related to their educational and career aspirations. Two outcome areas explored are the participants' self-reported career competencies and their professional and academic goals. This study examines the benefits, as perceived by students, of performing hands-on research in field-based settings. Data generated from this program may serve as a means to justify further investment in field research programs for students in Antarctica and the Arctic. (Contains 2 tables and 4 figures.)
