Measuring Employability Among College Students: A Validity Study, Megan Rodgers
Masters Theses, 2010-2019
The practice of assessment in higher education is often focused on measuring outcomes of student success. However, the potential for a student to obtain a job (i.e., their employability) after graduation is often not directly measured.

Although U.S. colleges and universities continue to discuss creative ways to increase the number of African American collegians participating in study abroad, this research is limited when revealing the unique perspectives of African American collegians who have studied abroad.

A series of culturally responsive, guided interviews were conducted with African American collegians from a variety of institutions across …
