The Role of Race in the Development of Plans for a Graduate Degree
Pascarella, Ernest T.; Wolniak, Gregory C.; Pierson, Christopher T.; Flowers, Lamont A.
Review of Higher Education, v27 n3 p299-320 Spr 2004
Analyzing three-year longitudinal data from 18 diverse four-year institutions, this study investigated the role of race in the solidifying plans for a graduate degree. Net of other influences, African American and Hispanic students were significantly less likely than their White classmates to lower their plans for a graduate degree. However, additional findings suggest that different conceptual models are required to account for educational plans among the three racial subgroups.
