Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enrollment in graduate and first-professional education in the United States has increased in recent years--from about 2 million students in fall 1995 to more than 2.6 million students in fall 2007 (Snyder, Dillow, and Hoffman 2009, tables 206 and 207). Increasing enrollments overall raise questions regarding the types of students entering graduate and first-professional schools: is the profile of the typical graduate or first-professional student changing too? One example of such change is the rising enrollment of female students: from 1995 to 2007, the percentage of women among all graduate and first-professional students rose from 54 to 59 percent (Snyder, Dillow, and Hoffman 2009, tables 206 and 207). The Web Tables presented here use data from the 1995-96, 1999-2000, 2003-04, and 2007-08 National Postsecondary Student Aid Study (NPSAS) to examine trends in the profiles of graduate and first-professional students from 1995-96 to 2007-08. These tables group students by their graduate degree level: master's, doctoral, and first-professional, and examine how their demographic and enrollment characteristics have changed over time. Table 1 provides an overview of change in the distribution of graduate and first-professional students by graduate level and degree program. Table 2 examines trends in graduate and first-professional enrollment in different types of institutions. Tables 3 through 8 illustrate trends for selected student demographic characteristics such as age, sex, race/ethnicity, marital/dependent status, citizenship, and parental education. Tables 3 and 4 focus on master's students, tables 5 and 6 on doctoral students, and tables 7 and 8 on first-professional students. Tables 9 through 14 show trends for student enrollment characteristics including time of entry into graduate education, attendance status, enrollment in distance education courses and degree programs, and employment intensity while enrolled. Tables 9 and 10 focus on master's students, tables 11 and 12 on doctoral students, and tables 13 and 14 on first-professional students. A glossary is included. (Contains 28 tables and 3 endnotes.).

Download or read book Pathways and Experiences of First Generation Graduate Students written by John S. Levin and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-10-31 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on first-generation graduate students in the US and the graduate or post-baccalaureate programs that house and educate these students. The several voices in this book, including first-generation graduate students, address the phenomena of graduate students’ experiences and related university practices, with the practices connected to traditional academic and Western values and to academic and neoliberal institutional logics. First-generation graduate students’ narratives, or testimonies, serve as the foundation of the analysis of students’ pathways to graduate school and their experiences within graduate school. The conditions for first-generation graduate students in their programs require remedies that will facilitate student well-being, peer community attachment, and persistence, and will educate and train students for achievement in graduate school and for employment after graduate school.

Download or read book Student Financing of Graduate and First Professional Education written by Emily Forrest Cataldi and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2007-08, about 3 million students were enrolled in graduate or first-professional degree programs in the United States. These students exhibited wide variation both demographically and in the types of programs and institutions they attended. They pursued degrees in all types of fields, from the physical and life sciences to the arts and humanities to law and medicine. Some worked while they were enrolled while others did not. How these students financed their graduate studies in 2007-08 is the focus of these Web Tables, which are divided into three sections: The tables in Section 1 include the types of financial aid received by graduate and first-professional students, shown by students' enrollment and demographic characteristics. This section includes the percentages of graduate students who received grants, loans, assistantships, or other types of aid and the average amounts they received. Tables in Section 2 show the percentage of graduate and first-professional students who received aid from federal, state, institutional, or private sources, along with the average amounts received from each source. These are also shown by enrollment and demographic characteristics. The tables in Section 3 are dedicated to employment among graduate students. The percentage of graduate and first-professional students who worked while enrolled, average hours worked per week, and the role in which students saw themselves (i.e., as students who work to meet expenses or as employees who study) are explored in this section. The estimates presented in these tables were generated from the 2007-08 National Postsecondary Student Aid Survey (NPSAS:08), a comprehensive, nationally representative survey of how students finance their postsecondary education conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). NPSAS also includes a broad array of demographic and enrollment characteristics. A glossary is included. (Contains 3 endnotes and 64 tables.).

Download or read book Graduate STEM Education for the 21st Century written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2018-09-21 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. system of graduate education in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) has served the nation and its science and engineering enterprise extremely well. Over the course of their education, graduate students become involved in advancing the frontiers of discovery, as well as in making significant contributions to the growth of the U.S. economy, its national security, and the health and well-being of its people. However, continuous, dramatic innovations in research methods and technologies, changes in the nature and availability of work, shifts in demographics, and expansions in the scope of occupations needing STEM expertise raise questions about how well the current STEM graduate education system is meeting the full array of 21st century needs. Indeed, recent surveys of employers and graduates and studies of graduate education suggest that many graduate programs do not adequately prepare students to translate their knowledge into impact in multiple careers. Graduate STEM Education for the 21st Century examines the current state of U.S. graduate STEM education. This report explores how the system might best respond to ongoing developments in the conduct of research on evidence-based teaching practices and in the needs and interests of its students and the broader society it seeks to serve. This will be an essential resource for the primary stakeholders in the U.S. STEM enterprise, including federal and state policymakers, public and private funders, institutions of higher education, their administrators and faculty, leaders in business and industry, and the students the system is intended to educate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When it comes to a masters or PhD program, most graduate students don't deliberately set out to fail. Yet, of the nearly 500,000 people who start a graduate program each year, up to half will never complete their degree. Books abound on acing the admissions process, but there is little on what to do once the acceptance letter arrives. Veteran graduate directors Kevin D. Haggerty and Aaron Doyle have set out to demystify the world of advanced education. Taking a wry, frank approach, they explain the common mistakes that can trip up a new graduate student and lay out practical advice about how to avoid the pitfalls. Along the way they relate stories from their decades of mentorship and even share some slip-ups from their own grad experiences.
