Abstract | A study was undertaken of the process of recruitment to graduate and professional training. The education plans of college seniors in the South as the students expressed them during their senior year in 1960 were compared with their actual activities a year later. The initial survey had responses from over 6,000 students. Results show that 22 percent planned to enroll in graduate or professional school immediately after college graduation, and 23 percent planned to enroll sometime later. Another 29.5 percent definitely did not plan to continue at a later time. A lag between the southern states and the rest of the nation in post-college education aspiration was found. A year later one of the five males was enrolled in graduate or professional education (compared to one of three in a national sample) and one of ten females was enrolled (compared with one of five nationally). Further analysis is provided, and the questionnaires appended. (MSE) |
