Examining the Effects of Education Loans on College Student Transfer in the United States
To date, most studies exploring the effects of student loans on college enrollment have focused on persistence and completion, although increasing student mobility between institutions elevates the importance of considering a wider range of enrollment outcomes, specifically student transfer. Nearly 40% of students begin at a public or private non-profit 4-year college transfer within 6 years (Shapiro et al. in Transfer and mobility: A national vi…

Do Corequisite Math Courses Improve Academic Outcomes in Technical Colleges
Comparing high school students' attitudes towards borrowing for higher education in England and the United States
Student borrowing is a major higher education public policy issue, with students in both England and the United States increasingly relying on loans to finance postsecondary education. Our paper examines prospective higher education students' attitudes towards debt in England and the United States. It exploits a unique dataset which allows us to compare students' responses to similar surveys conducted in both countries during the same time period…
Faculty attitudes toward technology-driven instruction in developmental mathematics
Innovation in instructional technology has contributed to the rapid implementation of technology-driven instructional platforms, particularly in developmental math coursework (Bickerstaff et al., 2016). In this phenomenological study, we investigate how faculty perceive and respond to a mandated, technology-driven instructional model for developmental math coursework at public colleges in Tennessee. Through interviews with faculty members across …
Is College Remediation a Barrier or a Boost? Evidence from the Tennessee Sails Program
Many states are redesigning their college remediation policies to increase postsecondary degree completion. In 2012, Tennessee began waiving college math remediation for high school students who completed a computer‐based remedial math course (SAILS) during their senior year. Using a regression discontinuity design, we find that the high school remedial course did not improve students' math achievement any more than the typical senior year math c…
Accelerating College Remediation
American colleges are redesigning the ways in which they offer remedial courses, including mainstreaming students into college-level courses and making greater use of learning-technology to tailor the curriculum to students’ specific academic needs. Exploiting a statewide cutoff on a remediation placement exam along with data on student outcomes prior to and after a course redesign effort in Tennessee, I estimate the effects of three different in…
Understanding How Information Affects Loan Aversion
Although the literature offers evidence of students’ aversion to borrowing for postsecondary education, it offers no insight into whether such attitudes are mutable. Through a blocked, cluster-randomized controlled trial in six diverse high schools in Louisville, Kentucky, we test whether providing student loan and repayment information affects the borrowing attitudes and perceptions of high school seniors. The information treatment involves watc…
How Financial Literacy, Federal Aid Knowledge, and Credit Market Experience Predict Loan Aversion for Education
Many students are averse to taking out loans to pay for education-a phenomenon that is commonly discussed but rarely systematically analyzed. This study explores the relationship between student loan aversion and individual financial characteristics. In this analysis, we rely on a unique dataset of survey responses from more than 5,000 high school seniors, community college students who did and did not borrow for higher education, and adults with…
