It is unclear which types of students are most likely to enrol in graduate school and which are most likely to leave prior to completion. There are competing theories in American research. Some contend that the effects of socioeconomic background, for instance, are weak at higher educational transitions (e.g., Mare, 1980), but some find that gender and socioeconomic status (SES) affect graduate school entry (e.g., Mullen, Goyette, & Soares, 2003) . Looking at the baccalaureate level, Canadian research finds a mixed and somewhat weak association between student background and persistence in college and undergraduate university programs, noting the likelihood of positive selection (Finnie & Qiu, 2008) . Positive selection refers to the idea that students who attend postsecondary education (PSE) tend to have already overcome barriers, indicating that many of these students are driven to successfully complete their PSE. It needs to be understood whether this same pattern is present in Canadian graduate level programs. Factors thought to be relevant and worthy of further exploration in this context include measures of parental education, socio-demographic characteristics, academic performance and engagement, and social engagement, as these have been found tobe relevant in previous American research (Lovitts, 2001; Tinto, 1993) .  \nThis goal of this study is to provide a better understanding of graduate school e","cbCaicOK3ItIEAbU","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicOK3ItIEAbU","pdf",553883,25,"English","# Abstract\n## Attrition concerns and research approach\n## Modeling entry, withdrawal, and completion","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of the study?\",\"answer\":\"The study aims to explain graduate school entry and attrition in Canadian programs, focusing on individual characteristics and identifying who is most likely to withdraw.\"},{\"question\":\"Which methods are used to analyze attrition?\",\"answer\":\"It applies logistic regression and discrete-time survival analysis with time-varying covariates to the Youth in Transition Survey data.\"},{\"question\":\"What factors are associated with graduate program completion?\",\"answer\":\"The paper finds that demographic and background characteristics such as being married and having children are associated with a reduced likelihood of completing, while strong academic background predicts entering.\"}]","Who Stays and for How Long - Examining Attrition in Canadian Graduate Programs | PDF",1792083561,63]
