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…

Lauren Amanda Hernandez-Rubio – ProQuest LLC, 2021
University programs with waterfowl teaching, research, and outreach in the United States and Canada have decreased from approximately 55 to 33 programs ([approximately]40%). A reduction in these programs may lead to a loss in professional capacity of waterfowl and wetlands specialists working for science and conservation of these resources. Three…

While undergraduate research programs (URP) have been used by the higher education community to engage students and develop critical thinking skills, little if any research has been conducted to examine what type of URP exist within the non-STEM disciplines. The purpose of this study was to (a) identify and examine the goals, types, and methods of…
