Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Inequities in undergraduate enrollment based on race, ethnicity, income, and other demographic characteristics ultimately affect diversity in the pipeline to graduate school (Ma et al., 2019; Perna & Kurban, 2013). Specifically, ethnic/racial minorities, low-income students, and first-generation college students are underrepresented in postsecondary education (Bragg, 2013; Okahana & Zhou, 2019). Further, college faculty and administrators are focused on supporting undergraduate student retention and completion, with less focus on postgraduation outcomes. However, the path to graduate school enrollment is often shaped by key undergraduate experiences and programs, and it is important that colleges are also able to adequately prepare students for graduate education.
