Post-Baccalaureate Educational Choices of Minority Students

This study investigates the relation between expectations at matriculation and actual post-baccalaureate choices. The results show that minority students who expect to earn graduate degrees at the time of baccalaureate matriculation are significantly less likely to do so than their Caucasian counterparts. The reasons for this difference are not well explained in models estimated here, but the finding alone suggests directions for further research.
