Book Description
The decision to go to college may be one of the most important choices a person makes in his or her lifetime. Students considering higher education following completion of high school have come to the realization that the additional education may influence career choices, potential earnings, and professional and personal satisfaction. Students considering a college education undergo different phases in making the decision of an institution to attend. Depending on the individual, this process may have occurred over many years and/or during the time the student is in high school. The goal of this study is to determine if the pharmacy college choice process used by prospective pharmacy students followed other college choice models (including Hossler and Gallagher’s (1987) three-phase model) and identifying the primary and secondary factors that influence final choice. A qualitative methodology is employed to understand the phenomenon of Pharmacy College Choice (PCC) from the perspective of students who had just gone through this experience. This study examines the college choice process at two Texas institutions. This research seeks to understand the lived experience of students selecting a college of pharmacy by inquiring 1) what is the college decision-making process for pharmacy students, 2) how do students select a school of pharmacy to attend, 3) what factors influence students’ choice of a pharmacy program to attend at different types of institutions

College Choice
Author: Michael B. Paulsen
Publisher: School of Education and Human Development University
ISBN:
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 132
Book Description
This report discusses enrollment planning by colleges and universities as it concerns the understanding of why students choose to attend one particular college over another. First, the past responses of colleges to enrollment-threatening changes are presented. Next, an explanation is given of why knowledge of student college choice behavior is important for enrollment planning, student marketing, and recruitment. Then, the conceptual foundations for the study of college choice behavior (psychology, sociology, economics) are discussed, followed by an explanation of why it is important to understand what determines enrollment fluctuations, such as an increasing job market or economic recession. Micro-level studies of college choice behavior, which are used to estimate the effects of institutional and student characteristics on the probability that a particular individual will choose a particular college, are examined. Finally, information related to the following questions is presented and discussed: (1) "what factors are important to students of nontraditional age in making college decisions?" (2) "what are the phases of the college choice process?" (3) "what factors are important in creating a desire to attend college?" (4) "why is the college search and application phase so important?" and (5) "how can an institution more effectively manage enrollment in the selection and attendance phase?" Contains an index and 227 references. (GLR).
