Part-Time Grad Students Feel the Social and Academic Pinch.

Taylor, Vincent

Black Issues in Higher Education, v10 n10 p22-24 Jul 15 1993

Part-time graduate students, particularly from minority groups, find that time management and sacrifice are necessary for success. Problems encountered include balancing jobs and academic work, difficulties integrating into the institution's graduate culture, and the need to cut back on some personal activities. However, part-time study contributes to career advancement. (MSE)
