Metzner, Barbara S.; Bean, John P.
Research in Higher Education, v27 n1 p15-38 1987
Data were gathered from nontraditional (commuter, part-time) freshmen at a midwestern urban university. Dropout was a function of grade point average and credit hours enrolled, as well as the utility of education for future employment, satisfaction with the student role, opportunity to transfer, and age affecting dropout through intent to leave.
