Recent trends in higher education have led to the development of
alternatives to traditional on-campus graduate degree programs. There is a
concomitant need to understand student experience in field-based programs
which support continuing education and career development for employed
adults. The central purpose of this research was to explore the...
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships
that were hypothesized to exist between the variables birth order,
family size, and parents college attendance and the dependent variable,
college graduation. The three general hypotheses tested were:
1. A positive relationship exists between a given position in

This study examined the relationship and strength of association
of the two independent variables of gender (male, female) and perceived
sex role identity (masculine, androgynous, feminine, and

back-up styles), and leadership adaptability (effectiveness) of nonforeign
graduate students at a Land Grant...
Current gross categorical models of classification for human
behavior are unsatisfactory, a science by consensus that is
unreliable, invalid, and gives rise to psychological tests that
use sophisticated statistics to poorly mirror diagnoses that are
already unreliable and without scientific validity. Both for
diagnosis and progress in therapy, current diagnostic...
This study explored the lived experiences of graduate students in masters-level academic programs who become pregnant, whether intended or otherwise, and the sources from which they received support in their efforts to balance their dual responsibilities as students and mothers-to-be. Through a series of three, semistructured one-on-one interviews, seven participants...
Graduate students are critical stakeholders for academic libraries. As libraries continue to reinvent themselves to remain relevant, spaces, services, and instruction targeted specifically for the needs of the graduate student community are essential. Transforming Libraries to Serve Graduate Students is a practical atlas of how librarians around the world are...
The graduate student experience varies for each individual. While some graduate students decide to continue school after being away from some time, others continue with their studies immediately following the completion of their Bachelor's degree. This decision to continue one's education can be difficult and may require further assistance from...
