Direct linkCurtin, Nicola; Malley, Janet; Stewart, Abigail J. – Research in Higher Education, 2016
We know little about the role of faculty mentoring in the development of interest in pursuing an academic career among doctoral students. Drawing on Social Cognitive Career Theory, this study examined the relationships between different kinds of mentoring (instrumental, psychosocial, and sponsorship) and academic career self-efficacy, interests,…

Mendoza, Pilar; Villarreal, Pedro, III; Gunderson, Alee – Research in Higher Education, 2014
This study employs the 2007-2008 National Postsecondary Student Aid Study and the National Research Center's survey data, "A Data-Based Assessment of Research-Doctorate Programs in the United States," to investigate the (1) the effects of debt in relation to tuition and fees paid and (2) the effects of teaching assistantships,…

Ampaw, Frim D.; Jaeger, Audrey J. – Research in Higher Education, 2012
Doctoral programs have high dropout rates of 43% representing the highest among all post-baccalaureate programs. Cross sectional studies of doctoral students' retention have showed the importance of financial aid in predicting degree completion. These studies however, do not estimate the labor market's effect on doctoral student retention and…

Peer reviewedCook, Marlene M.; Swanson, Austin – Research in Higher Education, 1978
Focus is on two areas: (1) the factors available to the selection committee when students apply for admission into graduate programs, and (2) those factors emerging after admission, resulting from students' meeting program-imposed requirements for graduation. Program variables are shown to be more important than admission variables. (Author/LBH)

Peer reviewedTrent, Curtis; Johnson, James F. – Research in Higher Education, 1977
Results of a survey of 65 graduate students suggest that students' values and attitudes play a major role in their evaluation of faculty and should be recognized by teachers when interpreting the data from such ratings. (Author/LBH)

Peer reviewedMcClure, Richard H.; And Others – Research in Higher Education, 1986
A new model for predicting success in an M.B.A. program uses terms representing the interaction of undergraduate grade point average, undergraduate institution, and undergraduate major. It is found to have a significantly improved predictability than previous models. (MSE)

Peer reviewedSantiago, Anna M.; Einarson, Marne K. – Research in Higher Education, 1998
A study of science and engineering graduate students found that at time of entry, women and U.S. minority graduate students had academic credentials and expectations similar to those of their Anglo male peers. Student perceptions of academic preparedness, status-related disadvantages, and expectations about student-faculty interactions were more…
