Geography of Computing Graduate Degree Opportunities
Building Transfer Student Interest in Computer Science PhDs
Community college transfer students represent a diverse and talented group to recruit to PhD and other graduate programs. Yet, little is known about practical strategies to support community college transfer students’ access to graduate training. Focusing specifically on transfer students in computer science and guided by social cognitive career theory, this manuscript draws on survey data from over 200 community college transfer students and uti…
Part of the plan? A critical quantitative examination of mentoring and psychosocial mediators shaping computing students’ graduate school applications
Despite decades of attention, racial/ethnic and gender inequities persist across science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine disciplines. In computing higher education, the disciplinary focus of this study, institutional actors must look to critical junctures between educational levels (e.g., between undergraduate and graduate degrees) to explore possible ways to disrupt processes of social reproduction. Using longitudinal data fr…
“I Found My Home There”
Motivated by ongoing gender disparities in engineering, the authors qualitatively examine how collegiate STEM student organizations serve as affirming spaces for women’s engineering identity development, countering their exclusionary classroom environments. Drawing from interviews and written data with 24 undergraduate women, findings demonstrate how student organizations promote engineering identity through women recognizing themselves as engine…
Trends and Motivations in Critical Quantitative Educational Research
To challenge “objective” conventions in quantitative methodology, higher education scholars have increasingly employed critical lenses (e.g., quantitative criticalism, QuantCrit). Yet, specific approaches remain opaque. We use a multimethod design to examine researchers’ use of critical approaches and explore how authors discussed embedding strategies to disrupt dominant quantitative thinking. We draw data from a systematic scoping review of crit…
Do I even belong?”
The Perpetuation of Privilege
The Tech Trajectory
Autonomy and Privilege in Doctoral Education
Guided by theories of socialization and possible selves, this study examines how STEM doctoral students perceive their academic and professional trajectories. More specifically, we rely on four years of interview data from 66 doctoral students in the biological sciences to explore students’ perceived trajectories, focusing on the salient identities and experiences that shape the way students identify and describe their graduate experiences over t…
Modeling the Pathways to Self-Confidence for Graduate School in Computing
Unequal expectations
Advancing Equity in Graduate Pathways
In light of the need to both grow and diversify graduate enrollments in computing fields, this quantitative study examined variables associated with students’ initial aspirations for computing graduate school as well as how aspirations were sustained or developed over time. Using a longitudinal sample of undergraduate students who enrolled in introductory computing courses at 15 research universities, findings suggest that environments and intera…
