An Epistemological And Pattern Analysis Of Empirical Data That Influences Emergency Loan Need Among Graduate Students, Efosa C. Idemudia, R. Ferguson May 2015

An Epistemological And Pattern Analysis Of Empirical Data That Influences Emergency Loan Need Among Graduate Students, Efosa C. Idemudia, R. Ferguson

Faculty Publications -School of Business

This analysis studies closely education affordability through the epistemology of emergency loan need that signals economic challenges on the horizon for domestic and international students seeking a post graduate credential at any cost. Prior studies have been very helpful; however, to the best of our knowledge there is not a comprehensive study that has investigated the comparison of small vs. large emergency student loans taken out by graduate students. Also, to the best of our knowledge and to date there are no studies that have investigated the patterns and relationships among ethnicity, gender, marital status, degree type, and college awarded …

Emergency Loan Need Among Graduate Students Signals Debt Trends In Higher Education May Influence The Expansion Of The U.S. Economy Long-Term, Efosa C. Idemudia, Ralph Ferguson

Faculty Publications -School of Business

This article proposes that the rising cost of graduate education and debt may suppress interest of domestic and international students in advanced education and impact the market economy. There are three challenges indicated through emergency loan need increases that deter students from graduate education. First, intellectual and skills growth has been a path to wealth building with the cost of education modest and not a potential lifetime debt. Second, Responsibility Centered Management (RCM), galvanized due to reduction of state and federal funds to support education, may have the detrimental effect of exponentially increasing tuition and fees to maintain programs, staff, …


An Empirical Analysis That Forecast A High Likelihood Of Emergency Loan Need Between Ages 27 To 41 Among Graduate Students For Policy Decisions, Efosa C. Idemudia, Ralph Ferguson Jul 2011

An Empirical Analysis That Forecast A High Likelihood Of Emergency Loan Need Between Ages 27 To 41 Among Graduate Students For Policy Decisions, Efosa C. Idemudia, Ralph Ferguson

Faculty Publications -School of Business

The increase in graduate schools’ enrollments due to the global recession poses a complex challenge for graduate school deans and policy decisions. The data indicate that between the ages 27 to 41 emergency loan need is high among graduate students. As more non-traditional students seek admission into graduate school, there may be a prescribed role for the emergency loan in order to reduce the level of borrowing necessary among traditional as well as non-traditional graduate students for effective policy decision making. Analysis of emergency loan recipients provides insight for future researchers to investigate other critical factors that influence emergency loan …


Integrating Team Skills Into Program Content, Loretta F. Cochran Apr 2004

Integrating Team Skills Into Program Content, Loretta F. Cochran

Faculty Publications -School of Business

Group projects are common fodder in business programs, both for undergraduate and graduate students. They serve many objectives, from the instructor’s reduction in the number of graded assignments to the students’ manifestation of communications skills in a group setting. A quick poll of students in any business classroom will find that most students have multiple group assignments in any given term. A follow-up question about how much training on team based skills will yield significantly fewer responses. This teaching note attempts to illustrate one approach (in its infancy) that attempts to enhance the team skills of undergraduate students at a …
