A Different Viewpoint On Student Retention, Watson Scott Swail
A Different Viewpoint On Student Retention, Watson Scott Swail
Higher Learning Research Communications
Although student retention, persistence, and graduation is a high priority for institutions and policymakers, graduation rates are not improving. Nowadays, more students from first-generation and low-income backgrounds have access to traditional higher education. In this essay, the author argues that an educational system that fails to prepare many students for higher education and the growing costs of attending college are making it more and more difficult for many students to persist and graduate. He concludes by stating that ultimately, we might need to decide, on a policy basis, who we want to go to college, who we want to succeed, …

The Leadership Experience Of Female Chief Admissions Officers: A Phenomenological Research Study, Krista Timney
All Dissertations
College admissions is a highly-competitive, business-oriented, and collaborative profession where women continue to be underrepresented in leadership positions.

The southeast region of the U.S. was chosen for this study because it is an area where women have been successful in advancing into leadership roles in admissions. The primary research question was: How do female chief admissions officers describe their lived leadership experiences? …

Examining Admission Factors In An Mpa Program, William M. Leavitt, John R. Lombard, John C. Morris
School of Public Service Faculty Publications
This article presents an in-depth examination of the validity of the admission factors employed by a NASPAA-accredited MPA program. Admission factors are examined to determine if particular factors, or a set of factors, are most indicative of an applicant’s potential achievement in the MPA program as measured by a student’s final grade point average (GPA) in the program. The study uses truncated regression techniques to analyze student records in order to determine the relative significance of a set of commonly collected admissions information. We find that the best predictor of success in the MPA program, as measured by final GPA …
