An Event Model of Student Departure.
DesJardins, S. L.; Ahlburg, D. A.; McCall, B. P.
Economics of Education Review, v18 n3 p375-90 Jun 1999
Employs event-history modeling to examine temporal dimensions of student departure from a large research university. Asian students are less likely to depart in year 1 than Whites. African-Americans are more likely to leave during junior and senior years. Dynamic models may presage sound dropout-intervention strategies. (54 references) (MLH)
