Eichbauer – Scholarship and Practice of Undergraduate Research, 2024
Although higher education aims to provide holistic learning and career preparation, there is growing skepticism about its value, with segments of the public scrutinizing concerns about tuition, student loan debt, and job prospects. Between 2015 and 2020, Florida Gulf Coast University implemented a quality enhancement plan (FGCUScholars) that…

Kistner, Kelly; Sparck, Erin M.; Liu, Amy; Whang Sayson, Hannah; Levis-Fitzgerald, Marc; Arnold, Whitney – Scholarship and Practice of Undergraduate Research, 2021
As many studies on undergraduate research outcomes are focused on STEM fields, the widely variable experiences in the humanities, arts, and social sciences are less known and harder to study. This article assesses outcomes among students who pursued faculty-mentored research in those fields and concurrently participated in programs administered…

Masunaga, Hiromi; Chun, Chi-Ah; Vu, Kim-Phuong L. – International Journal of Research in Education and Science, 2023
This study examined the role of science identity in a two-year upper-division research training program that prepares diverse undergraduate students for a research career. Using the annual year-end student evaluation data, we examined whether science identity is a predictor or an outcome of learning that enhances career preparation in biomedical…

Erica J. Zheng; Elizabeth Oakes; Julie Roden – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2024
The number of undergraduate students from underrepresented backgrounds enrolled in science and technology-related courses has increased over the past 20 years, but these students' persistence in STEM majors until graduation still lags behind the overall college population. Interventions like exposure to independent research, instruction using…

Capaldi, Mindy; Bugajski, Kristi; Goebbert, Bonnie Dahlke; Watters, Michael; Slattery, Michelle – Scholarship and Practice of Undergraduate Research, 2022
Student retention is important to any university, especially keeping commuter students who are traditionally less anchored in campus life. Even more at risk, given the leaky STEM pipeline, are STEM commuter students. In 2016, Valparaiso University launched the Establishing Practices Integrating Commuter Students (EPIC) program, centered around…
