Gorbunov, Alexander; Moreland, Amy; Tingle, Chris; Deaton, Russ – Tennessee Board of Regents - The College System of Tennessee, 2022
We investigate whether student participation in undergraduate research--a high impact practice at TBR community colleges--has an effect on (1) academic performance; (2) probability of graduation, university transfer, and student departure; and (3) time to completion, transfer, and departure. Using enrollment, graduation, and course-taking data on…
