Beyond the Baccalaureate: Factors Shaping Latina/o Graduate Degree Aspirations
Cuellar, Marcela G.; Gonzalez, Amber M.
Journal of Hispanic Higher Education, v20 n1 p59-74 Jan 2021
This study examined how Latina/o undergraduate students' graduate and professional degree aspirations change during college. Using longitudinal data from the Cooperative Institutional Research Program, a multinomial logistic regression analysis was conducted to examine factors associated with aspiring to earn a degree beyond a baccalaureate. Findings show that many students change their initial aspirations and several college experiences, such as higher college GPA and faculty interactions, are associated with Latinas/os' graduate and professional degree aspirations.
