Full Campus Study
• Attrition– No difference between demographic groups.– GRE Verbal Scores positively related to attrition. No
significant relationship found for GRE Quant or for GPA.
– Students who attended a top tier BA school and those with a prior graduate degree are less likely to drop out.
– Student faculty ratio is negatively related to dropout. – Programs with a tradition of publishing with a lone
author have higher attrition rates.– Programs with a teaching requirement have higher
drop out rates.

Full Campus Study
• Early v. Late Attrition– Among dropouts, students with a foreign
language requirement are more likely to dropout late.
– Programs with a tradition of sole authorship tend to produce students who drop out later.
– Differential impact of GRE Verbal between students enrolling with and without a prior graduate degree.
