Park, Elizabeth S.; Ngo, Federick; Melguizo, Tatiana – Research in Higher Education, 2021
Limited attention has been placed on the relationship between developmental math and STEM outcomes in community college. We therefore examine one particular experience during the transition from high school to college called math misalignment, which occurs when college students are placed lower in math than is warranted given their high-school…

Main, Joyce B.; Johnson, Beata N.; Wang, Yanbing – Research in Higher Education, 2021
This study examines the effect of participation in cooperative education (co-op) programs on engineering undergraduate students' academic and employment outcomes, with particular attention to diversity in engineering. Co-ops are partnerships between an academic institution and an employer designed to engage students in early practical work…

Winkler, Christa E.; Mayhew, Matthew J.; Rockenbach, Alyssa N. – Research in Higher Education, 2021
The study of diversity climates is as complicated as the study of diversity itself. Despite the call for more sophisticated and multi-dimensional approaches to the study of diversity climates, few empirical efforts have been designed to do so, as the literature remains replete with work bifurcating and labeling diversity climates as positive or…

Chen, Rong; Bahr, Peter Riley – Research in Higher Education, 2021
This study estimates the short- and long-term effects of undergraduate educational debt on students' decisions to apply and to enroll in graduate school after completing requirements for a baccalaureate degree, using marginal mean weighting through stratification method (MMW-S) to analyze data from the National Center for Education Statistics…

Liu, Vivian; Mishra, Soumya; Kopko, Elizabeth M. – Research in Higher Education, 2021
A third of the 2- and 4-year undergraduates beginning college in 2011-2012 changed their major in the first 3 years of enrollment. Yet, few studies have examined the effects of major switching on student outcomes, particularly in community colleges. Major switching can delay or impede college completion through excess credit accumulation, or it…

Lawson, Katie M. – Research in Higher Education, 2021
Women drop out of male-dominated majors (MDMs) at a higher rate than men (Blickenstaff 2005). Research is needed to better understand contextual factors in the major, such as social interactions in major classes, that may increase women's engagement in MDMs and ultimately reduce attrition (Lawson et al. in Sex Roles 78:542-560, 2018). The present…

Youngerman, Ethan; Dahl, Laura S.; Mayhew, Matthew J. – Research in Higher Education, 2021
Integrative learning is the ability to connect, apply, and/or synthesize. A highly valued skill for the knowledge economy and combating false narratives, integrative learning represents the cognitive heart of the liberal arts, demonstrating students' ability to make interdisciplinary connections and apply their learning to their lives and the…

Hartman, Catherine; Callahan, Rebecca; Yu, Hongwei – Research in Higher Education, 2021
Researchers have long struggled to accurately identify the needs of English learner (EL) students and the factors that facilitate their postsecondary success. Although prior research suggests that EL students disproportionately select into community colleges, there is a dearth research that examines transfer to four-year schools among community…

Zeiser, Kristina L.; Song, Mengli; Atchison, Drew – Research in Higher Education, 2021
Following a sample of students who participated in admissions lotteries at eight Early College High Schools (ECs) partnering with 2-year colleges, this study examined the college enrollment and degree completion of students who won admissions lotteries and enrolled in ECs in Grade 9 (i.e., EC students), and assessed the EC impact--in terms of…

Vandelannote, Isis; Demanet, Jannick – Research in Higher Education, 2021
This study investigates whether the ethnic and socioeconomic composition of the secondary school affect higher education enrollment and program choice (non-university higher education or university) in an educational system using a separation model. School-wide social capital is investigated as an underlying mechanism to explain how school…

Zhu, Qiong; Choi, Junghee; Meng, Yi – Research in Higher Education, 2021
To improve college access for low-income students, an increasing number of public colleges and universities have implemented no-loan policies, where student loans are replaced with institutional grant aid that does not require repayment. Using detailed income measures provided by Mobility Report Card data, this study examines the effect of no-loan…

Wolniak, Gregory C.; Muskens, Marjolein – Research in Higher Education, 2021
The study focuses on the phenomenon of "undermatching" in relation to the development of noncognitive attributes during the first year of college. Particular attention is paid to examining the role of first-generation college student status in moderating these relationships. The analyses utilize longitudinal data from the Netherlands (N…

Andrews, Benjamin D. – Research in Higher Education, 2021
Since the turn of the twenty-first century, going to college has become increasingly financially difficult in the United States. Tuition prices continued to rise, state funding for higher education declined, and the mean family income declined or stagnated for all but the top 20 percent of families (Goldrick-Rab 2016). In a period where college…

Culver, K. C.; Bowman, Nicholas A.; Pascarella, Ernest T. – Research in Higher Education, 2021
Recent research has uncovered significant concerns about the validity of some types of college student self-reports. This study examines the extent to which student reports about a critical type of college experience--good teaching practices--may be biased as a function of students' intellectual orientations and cognitive reasoning abilities.…

Webber, Karen L.; Burns, Rachel – Research in Higher Education, 2021
With enrollments rising in recent years, more than half of all graduate level students in US institutions take on educational loans. Using data from the National Postsecondary Student Aid Study (NPSAS), this study examined educational debt for graduate and professional students in 2000 and 2016 and explored whether significant predictors of debt…
