  • The Effect of Loans on Time to Doctorate Degree: Differences by Race/Ethnicity, Field of Study, and Institutional Characteristics
    Dongbin Kim Cindy Otts The Effect of Loans on Time to Doctorate Degree: Differences by Race/Ethnicity, Field of Study, and Institutional Characteristics Introduction Graduate schools prepare students not only for fu- ture careers in academia, but also for leadership positions in govern- ment, business, non-profit organizations, and other industries. Given the likelihood of doctoral degree recipients being active in research or lead- ership positions, they may have considerable opportunity to influence public policy. In a global, knowledge-driven economy, the need for a highly educated workforce is vital to maintaining the nation’s status and economy. Doctoral-granting institutions, therefore, play an important role in educating academicians and professionals alike who can take the lead in this highly interdependent world. Unfortunately, the nation’s graduate schools fail to fully educate many students who enter doctoral programs because the programs are plagued by high attrition rates. This material is based upon work supported by the Association for Institutional Re- search, the National Center for Education Statistics, the National Science Foundation, and the National Postsecondary Education Cooperative under Association for Institu- tional Research Grant Number 223. Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recom- mendations expressed in this material are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Association for Institutional Research, the National Center for Education Statistics, the National Science Foundation, or the National Postsecondary Education Cooperative. Authors thank the anonymous reviewers for comments and encouragements on ear- lier drafts.

  • Early Declaration of a College Major and Its
    EARLY DECLARATION OF A COLLEGE MAJOR AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO COLLEGE STUDENT PERSISTENCE by DAVID BRENT SPIGHT FRANKIE SANTOS LAANAN, CHAIR NATHANIEL BRAY DAVID HARDY CLAIRE MAJOR CHARLIE NUTT A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Education in the Department of Educational Leadership, Policy, and Technology Studies in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2018 Copyright David Brent Spight 2018 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED i ABSTRACT Completion of a college degree, as reflected by graduation rates, is a priority for campus administrators, politicians, families, and students. When students do not graduate, it has an effect on students, families, institutions, and surrounding communities. Colleges and universities, whether public or private, may find financial support declining when graduation rates do not improve. Debt acquired during college can be costly for students who drop-out before earning a degree. Some students, parents, administrators, faculty, and staff perceive that students making an early decision about a major is necessary for success in college. Many believe that enrolling as undeclared contributes to student attrition from college. Significant numbers of first-time in college students enroll each year without having chosen a major. Previous research examining undeclared students, however, is limited, conflicting, and dated. Still, increasingly, administrators and other stakeholders agree on two things: students should persist to graduation and

  • Degree Programs
    ACADEMIC PROGRAMS THE SERENBETZ INSTITUTE FOR WOMEN’S LEADERSHIP, SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY, AND GLOBAL AWARENESS The Institute for Women’s Leadership and Social Responsibility was established in the fall of 2010 to support Cottey College’s mission to promote the education of women as “learners, leaders, and citizens.” In 2014, the Institute was named in recognition of a major gift to the college by Thelma Serenbetz. The Institute’s vision is to become a premier women’s leadership program, employing focused research, innovative instruction, and life-long mentorship to equip Cottey graduates for excellence of responsible leadership globally. Each of Cottey’s four-year baccalaureate programs incorporates the three vital themes for which the Institute is named: the themes of women’s leadership, social responsibility, and global awareness. Under the auspices of the Institute, these same emphases shape still further courses and events offered to the Cottey campus and Nevada community. While some of these offerings may be incorporated directly into the classroom, others may include special workshops, conferences, or speakers. Specific initiatives sponsored and promoted by the Institute include the following: 1. The Leadership, Experiences, and Opportunity (LEO) program provides students a personalized approach to leadership identity development through hands-on experience and reflection 2. Undergraduate Research Grants for students and faculty to pursue research on leadership and its development within their academic disciplines 3. Leadership Immersions, involving academic study or personal enrichment travel concerning women’s leadership, social responsibility, or global awareness in students’ disciplines 4. Summer Leadership Internships, providing opportunities for students to explore leadership within a community, governmental, political, or non-profit organization 5.

  • PROGRAMS of STUDY ACCOUNTING and FINANCE Irons, Mclaughlin, Moon, Olson, Sullivan, Willis Lower-Level (100-200) Courses in the Department Are Open to All Students
    PROGRAMS OF STUDY ACCOUNTING AND FINANCE Irons, McLaughlin, Moon, Olson, Sullivan, Willis Lower-level (100-200) courses in the department are open to all students. Upper-level (300-400) courses in the department are open to students not major- ing in accounting, or finance with consent of the department head; a small percentage of seats in each class is reserved to accommodate such students, but such students should follow the department’s closed course petitioning process. However, students not majoring in accounting, or finance may take only one upper-level course in the department unless required to do so by a major out- side the Department of Accounting and Finance, or unless they receive permis- sion from the department head. The major in accounting meets the accounting requirements for taking the Certified Public Accountant Examination in Illinois and provides excel- lent preparation for entry into field of public accounting and the practice of accounting in industry or government. To sit for the CPA exam in Illinois, cur- rent law requires students to have completed at least 37.5 course units or the equivalent of 150 semester hours. It may be possible for students to complete these requirements in four years at IWU. Contact the department head for details. See more at www.iwu.edu/accounting. IWU’s Finance major is designed to produce articulate, well-informed, responsible graduates who learn finance in a liberal art setting. We emphasize critical thinking and communication, two skills that are essential to success in any financial field. At IWU, the program centered on application for real- world problems and culminating in multiple real-world experiences including investing actual money.

  • 1 Exploring Academic Major Choice
    1 EXPLORING ACADEMIC MAJOR CHOICE AND SELF-EFFICACY IN A SHIFTING LANDSCAPE: LOW-INCOME UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS AND PURSUIT OF THE HUMANITIES DEGREE __________________________________ A Dissertation! Presented to! The Faculty of the Curry School of Education University of Virginia _________________________________ In Partial Fulfillment! of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy _________________________________ by! Sarah E. Whitley, B.S., M.Ed. May 2017 2 ©Copyright by Sarah E. Whitley All Rights Reserved May 2017 3 ABSTRACT Advisor: Dr. Karen Kurotsuchi Inkelas Relying upon explanatory mixed methods (Creswell, 2002, 2003, 2007; Tashakkori & Teddlie, 2003), this study investigated the academic decision-making of low-income undergraduate students with interest in humanities majors. The purpose of this study was to consider the influences, including those internal and external to the college environment as well as occurring prior to and during college, that shaped low- income students’ self-efficacy and academic decision-making at different points in the process. Moreover, this study sought to understand the barriers encountered by students in academic decision-making and to identify the supports recognized by students as improving their confidence in successfully choosing a major. Given the negative post- Recession climate surrounding humanities study and a rise in focus on and funding for majors deemed vocational or pre-professional, this study examined why low-income students still express interest in humanities fields

During the last two years, a student’s courses are usually selected from those offered in a major field of study but also include ample electives. The College offers a broad undergraduate education in the arts and sciences rather than highly specialized training.
