A Study of Graduate Student Attitudes Regarding Graduate Education at Western Michigan University.
Nangle, John E.
The population from which the sample was systematically drawn was defined as those students enrolled in courses for graduate credit during the Winter 1973 semester, including 3,106 on-campus students, 1,051 taking courses off-campus, and 88 taking work both on- and off-campus. The questionnaire contained 10 sections: background and demographic information; satisfaction with academic program; adequacy of facilities and services; participation opportunities; admission and assessment; program changes; decisions to specialize; future plans; miscellaneous (thesis supervision, internship experiences, and problems of foreign students); and overall evaluation. A 75 percent questionnaire return rate was obtained. Some general conclusions were that: satisfaction is higher for those working toward a specific degree, for those at advanced degree levels, for full-time students, and for on-campus students. (LBH)
