Results from the analyses of data from 463 former college students between the ages of 25 and 34 years old identify those most likely to reenroll in higher education in the near future.

Caison, Amy L. – Journal of College Student Retention: Research, Theory & Practice, 2005
Drawing on Tinto's (1987, 1993) theory of student integration, this research examines students who withdrew from their original institution prior to graduation.
