Torres, Vasti; Gross, Jacob P. K.; Dadashova, Afet
Journal of College Student Retention: Research, Theory & Practice, v12 n1 p51-68 2010-2011
Using survey information from undergraduate students who work while attending two urban commuter institutions in Indiana, this study explores evidence that on average undergraduates under 21 years of age worked more than 31 hours a week while also enrolled in a full course load. The findings in this study indicate that grade point average and possibly course completion were influenced by working more hours per week. (Contains 1 figure and 5 tables.)
