For institutions intent on improving their research student outcomes, it is important to identify the variables most strongly associated with timely or tardy completions, which the university has the potential to influence or amend. For this to occur the analyses of doctoral completion times need to be conducted at an institution or discipline…

The purpose of this non-experimental quantitative case study was to compare the academic success of community college students over three academic years (2016-17 through 2018-19) before the onset of COVID-19 based on final grades and the influence of student factors, class size, and faculty characteristics using archival data from selected online…

As the twelfth in the Completing College series, this report updates the six-year college completion rates nationally and by state, by tracking the enrollment and completion outcomes for the fall 2017 cohort of beginning college students through June 2023. The report also features national eight-year completion outcomes for fall 2015 through June…

Background: Physical activity (PA) consists of multiple domains, including leisure-time PA (LTPA), occupational PA (OPA), and transportation PA (TPA), though limited research has examined these domains among college students. Methods: This cross sectional, online survey asked undergraduate students to self-report demographics (gender,…

Objective: To investigate exercise stages of change (SOC) and physical barriers among undergraduates at an Historically Black University (HBCU) and quantify their relationship. Participants: A total of 326 undergraduate HBCU students; 198 were females (body mass index (BMI) range 16.5-87.9; M = 26.5 ± 6.8) and 127 were males (BMI range 18.0-49.3;…

This report sheds light on the enrollment trends of public institutions in Washington, including community and technical colleges and 4-year institutions. These institutions already share their enrollment data with the Education Research and Data Center (ERDC), which is included in the statewide longitudinal data system. This report does not…

Student parents are among the least likely student groups to complete college. Regression models were run using 2003-2019 American Time Use Survey data to explore time poverty among college students. Results indicate that students with children under 13 years had significantly less discretionary time and free time, spent significantly less time on…

This work examined the relationship between academic entitlement and noncompliance among college students using trauma or adverse childhood experiences to moderate the relationship. Additionally, this study explored how gender, enrollment type (full-time vs. part-time), and type of student (residential vs. online) impacted noncompliance. This…

Background: Although prior research has explored students' affective experiences in mathematics and its demographic correlatives, additional studies are needed that: (1) use large national data sets; (2) incorporate a broad range of affective constructs; (3) consider trends in student affect over time; and (4) include younger children and…

A quantitative nonexperimental ex post facto approach studied the relationship between student characteristics and online course retention over three different periods. The research reviewed online student characteristics like gender, ethnicity, Pell eligibility, previous online experience, GPA, total credit hours, and age to test for pre, intra,…

The aim of this study is to examine the intercultural sensitivity levels of teacher candidates using CART analysis and to develop a predictive model using machine learning algorithms. Additionally, this study provides a framework for understanding the relationship between internet usage and intercultural sensitivity. The participants comprised 416…

The present research was carried out to explore the relationship between academic procrastination and academic performance among virtual and conventional university students. The role of the demographic characteristics of the participants was also explored. Nonprobability convenience sampling technique was used to select a sample of 200 students.…

Objective: The purpose of this study is twofold. First, this study explores individual student characteristics, specifically those related to demographics, financial need, academic characteristics, and social and cultural capitals, related to study abroad participation among community college students. Second, this study identifies when over the…

This study used a person-centered approach to explore mental health status and profiles among a sample of 2262 university students and how these profiles differ in sociodemographic, academic, and lifestyle traits. Results revealed that around half of participants reported high well-being and life satisfaction, while over a third exhibited positive…
