The number of white males of college age, who have been the dominant participants in the fields of science and engineering, is predicted to drop significantly in the future. Rapid increases in the participation of women offer some hope of filling anticipated vacancies in the ranks of scientifically trained personnel, although this rapid growth has reached a plateau in many fields. Most studies ...

The purpose of this study was to explore the differences in perceived stress and coping styles among non-traditional graduate students in both on-campus and distance-learning programs. The study employed a quantitative causal-comparative design that involved collecting survey data. The sample consisted of 36 non-traditional graduate students who enrolled in distance learning classes along with ...

Highly qualified undergraduate nursing students may be admitted to the master’s program during their senior year. In anticipation of this, junior and senior students can take graduate nursing courses as electives. Following graduation in May, admitted students take two or three graduate courses during the summer, and then complete the master's program during the following academic year (or 2 ye...

Every spring I get depressed. Last month I had the stunning realization that graduate student recruitment is a major cause of my spring depression. Each year, as the days lengthen, graduate programs engage in their ritualistic seduction of prospective students. In the past 15 years, US institutions, including the most elite and respected, have evolved mating displays worthy of birds and fish. T...

In the process of the cultivation of graduate students based on the tutor system, there need to be further studied on how to build the science and fair evaluation mechanism for ensuring and improving the cultivation quality of graduate students. On the basis of research on tutor system, the paper summarizes the evaluation principles of the development of point of view, vertical comparison of th...
