JoinResearch and Teaching: Tracking the Modern Geoscience Undergraduate—A University of North Carolina Case Study
Continued decreases in government funding, increasing enrollments, and the demand for accountability and assessment characterize the new landscape of higher education. One facet of the demand for accountability is a belief that undergraduate students take longer to graduate than the traditional four years. To provide real data to address these concerns, this study evaluates a 10-year record of geoscience students who graduated from three degree programs.
