The Influence of Prices on Graduate Student Persistence.

Andrieu, Sandra Carlin; St. John, Edward P.

Research in Higher Education, v34 n4 p399-425 Aug 1993

An analysis used 1987 national student aid data to examine the influence of prices on within-year persistence by graduate students. Results indicated that graduate students, especially in public institutions, are responsive to tuition charges in their persistence decisions. It is suggested that institutions carefully examine the potential impact of changes in student costs. (Author/MSE)
