Finishing College: The Effects of College Type.
Velez, William
Sociology of Education, v58 n3 p191-200 Jul 1985
Students who start in two-year colleges are less likely to finish college than students who start in four-year colleges. However, other variables, such as religious background, educational aspirations, academic performance in college, participation in a work-study program, and living on campus, exert substantial positive effects on finishing.
