Institutional Selectivity and Good Practices in Undergraduate Education: How Strong is the Link
Academic selectivity plays a dominant role in the public's understanding of what constitutes institutional excellence or quality in undergraduate education. In this study, we analyzed two independent data sets to estimate the net effect of three measures of college selectivity on dimensions of documented good practices in undergraduate education. With statistical controls in place for important confounding influences, an institution's median stud…
First- and Second-Generation College Students: A Comparison of Their Engagement and Intellectual Development
Students who are the first in their family to attend college are less likely to graduate compared to students with one or both parents who have baccalaureate degrees. However, surprisingly little is known about the college experiences of first-generation students. This study examined the self-reported college experiences of 1,127 first-year students at a variety of four-year colleges and universities. First-generation students tended to be less e…
A Comparison of International Student and American Student Engagement in Effective Educational Practices
This study compares engagement of a national sample of international undergraduate students and their American counterparts. Overall, international students were more engaged in effective educational practices, especially during the first year of college. The ethnic/racial background of international students and their density on campus had mixed effects on student engagement
Adding Value: Learning Communities and Student Engagement

Though White students had less contact with students from different backgrounds, such experiences pos…

The Effects of Student-Faculty Interaction In the 1990s
This study examined the effects of student-faculty interaction on student satisfaction and on a range of self-reported learning and personal development gains associated with attending college of 5,409 full-time undergraduates from 126 four-year colleges and universities. Findings show that the frequency of student-faculty interaction increased from first year through the senior year. Although its net effects were trivial, such interactions had s…

Learning Productivity at Research Universities
Introduction Research universities enjoy the highest status among colleges and universities (Geiger, 1993; Graham & Diamond, 1997; Lipset, 1994; Rosovsky, 1990). These complex organizations perform an array of functions unlike that of any other educational institution, ranging from basic and applied research in virtually every field, graduate and professional training, and baccalaureate education. They attract many gifted students and faculty mem…

In Their Own Words: What Students Learn Outside the Classroom
In most college impact models, student and institutional characteristics have substantial effects on student learning ( Pascarella & Terenzini, 1991 ). The purpose of this study was to discover the impact of out-of-class experiences on outcomes of college attendance considered important by students. From interviews with 149 seniors at 12 colleges and universities, 14 categories of learning and personal development were distilled. These categories…
A Typology of Planning Problems
Colleges and universities are profoundly affected by the vicissitudes of the external environment, including rapidly shifting levels of public support, enrollment fluctuations, quixotic revisions in federal regulations, and precipitous changes in sponsored research priorities. Inside institutions of higher education, decisionmaking processes have been described as organized anarchy [8] and have been characterized by ill-defined goals and preferen…
