The College-Choice Process for Asian Pacific Americans: Ethnicity and SocioEconomic Class in Context
Teranishi, Robert T.; Ceja, Miguel; Antonio, Anthony Lising; Allen, Walter Recharde; McDonough, Patricia M.
Review of Higher Education, v27 n4 p527-551 Sum 2004
This study examines differential college-choice behavior and outcomes among Asian Pacific American (APA) student subpopulations with the goal of examining the extent to which the Asian American population is, in fact, a homogeneous "model minority" in college destinations and decision-making processes. The results suggest that their postsecondary decisions, opportunities, and destinations vary across and within ethnic and socioeconomic class subpopulations, challenging common assumptions about these students and their participation in U.S. higher education.
