The Impact of Institutional Choice and Environments on African-American and White Students' Degree Expectations.
Carter, Deborah Faye
Research in Higher Education, v40 n1 p17-41 Feb 1999
A study examined the effects of individual characteristics, institutional characteristics and experiences, and financial aid on African-American and White students' degree aspirations. Students' aspirations were mostly the result of socioeconomic factors, initial degree aspirations, and institutional characteristics. Financial aid was not a significant predictor for African-American students. Other differences between the groups were found. (Author/MSE)
